Perks of PES with Mr. John Benedict
To make the webinar a success, we could think of no better resource person than Mr. John as he is currently South Asia Young Professionals Coordinator, Social Media Coordinator of YP, HTA, EA and Region 10; Vice Chair of IEEE Xtreme and most importantly the R10 Young Professionals Representative of IEEE Power & Energy Society.
A Google form was circulated in social media starting from April 10, 2020. There was an overwhelming response and the registrations count crossed 100 in a very short span. The webinar was conducted on 12th of April, 2020. Not only the students, but also the branch members participated actively in the webinar. The session saw an excellent response and the facts which Mr. John shared with all of us took all of us by surprise as most of the participants were new to it. The attendees came to know about different Awards, Scholarships, Fund and Travel Grants that PES provides to its members. Not just explaining the perks, he shared his own life experiences in the journey with PES which grasped the attention of the audience and they started to involve in webinar by putting forward their queries.
The participants promised to put their PES memberships to good use by applying for the various perks. At the end of the day, it was an enlightening session and VNR IEEE PES SBC is elated to meet the attendees’ expectations.

Agenda
Elevating the students gen about the various Activities, Resources, Awards & Recognitions and Career Development Tools of the IEEE Power and Energy Society as a part of PES Day Celebrations.
Mr. Benedict quenched the thirst of knowledge for many and also shared his contact details and asked the students to feel free to contact him should there be a requirement. Undoubtedly, he enlightened the attendees’ minds and did justice to the word ‘guide’.
