Energy & Technology Policy with the 2019 & 2020 US Congress

#IEEE-USA #Government #Relations

Redistricting, and shifting political winds, virtually guarantees that the 2018 election will result in significant changes to Pennsylvania's representation in Washington.  Since we are not going to try to guess the results of the election (something the pollsters 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.

IEEE-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, their 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 these matters.

Registration is required if you need parking arrangements.  1 PDH is available for IEEE members, but you must register and sign in at the meeting.  Please indicate these when you register.
