Since we are not going to try to gues s the results of the election (something the pollsters seem to have done p oorly lately)\, we can still be sure the election will dramatically affect US Technology Policy\, with both regulation and legislation\, especially government funding.\n\nIEEE-USA is widely respected for Technology Policy that is objective and in the best interests of the country and our members . Russ Harrison is the IEEE-USA's Director of Government Relations. Based in Washington\, he and his staff have close contact with Legislators\, the ir staff\, and the IEEE-USA Technology Policy Committees. He will provide insights not only into who will be shaping policy but how you\, as a voter and constituent\, can effectively work with your Legislators regarding th ese matters.\n\nRegistration is required if you need parking arrangements. 1 PDH is available for IEEE members\, but you must register and sign in a t the meeting. Please indicate these when you register.\n\nCo-sponsored by : IEEE Lehigh Valley Section & University of Scranton Student Branch\n\nSp eaker(s): Russ Harrison\, \n\nAgenda: \n11:45 Pizza\, Soda\, networking\n\ n12:00 - 12:50 Presentation\n\nRoom: 233\, Bldg: Loyola Science Building\, University of Scranton\, 313 Monroe Avenue (Parking and Public Safety Pav ilion)\, Scranton\, Pennsylvania\, United States\, 18510 LOCATION:Room: 233\, Bldg: Loyola Science Building\, University of Scranton \, 313 Monroe Avenue (Parking and Public Safety Pavilion)\, Scranton\, Pen nsylvania\, United States\, 18510 ORGANIZER:wandrew.berger@scranton.edu SEQUENCE:7 SUMMARY:Energy & Technology Policy with the 2019 & 2020 US Congress URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/175266 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p style="caret-color: #000000\; color: #0000 00\; font-family: Geneva\; font-size: 12px\; font-style: normal\; font-var iant-caps: normal\; font-weight: normal\; letter-spacing: normal\; orphans : auto\; text-align: start\; text-indent: 0px\; text-transform: none\; whi te-space: normal\; widows: auto\; word-spacing: 0px\; -webkit-text-size-ad just: auto\; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px\; text-decoration: none\;"><sp an style="font-size: 12pt\;">Redistricting\, and shifting political winds\ , virtually guarantees that the 2018 election will result in significant c hanges to Pennsylvania's representation in Washington.&nbsp\; Since we are not going to try to guess the results of the election (something the poll sters seem to have done poorly lately)\, we can still be sure the election will dramatically affect US Technology Policy\, with both regulation and legislation\, especially government funding.</span></p>\n<p style="caret-c olor: #000000\; color: #000000\; font-family: Geneva\; font-size: 12px\; f ont-style: normal\; font-variant-caps: normal\; font-weight: normal\; lett er-spacing: normal\; orphans: auto\; text-align: start\; text-indent: 0px\ ; text-transform: none\; white-space: normal\; widows: auto\; word-spacing : 0px\; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto\; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px\; text-decoration: none\;"><span style="font-size: 12pt\;">IEEE-USA is widel y respected for Technology Policy that is objective and in the best intere sts of the country and our members.
