Challenges and Rewards in Building Diverse IEEE Communities
Join us to celebrate successes and wins as we highlight how California IEEE organizations are broadening their professional and educational outreach.
Kathleen A. Kramer, Cal Tech PhD, currently professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of San Diego, will be our featured speaker at 6PM to highlight success stories, particularly with San Diego outreach activities such as Expand Your Horizons, FIRST LEGO League and the FIRST Technical Challenge.
Kathleen will be followed a panel of Bay Area and Silicon Valley IEEE leaders, and will discuss with them their challenges and achievements in creating diverse groups and sustaining energy, given the many obstacles over the past 3 years.

Larry Moody
Former Mayor City of East Palo Alto,
Dr. Peter Fischer received his PhD in Physics (Dr.rer.nat.) from the Technical University in Munich, Germany in 1993 on pioneering work with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism in rare earth systems and his Habilitation from the University in Würzburg, Germany in 2000 based on his pioneering work on Magnetic Soft X-ray microscopy.
Since 2004 he is with the Material Sciences Division (MSD) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley CA. He is Senior Scientist and Principal Investigator in the Non-Equilibrium Magnetic Materials Program and serves as Deputy Division Director at MSD. His research program is focused on the use of polarized synchrotron radiation for the study of fundamental problems in magnetism. Since 2014 he is also Adjunct Professor for Physics at the University of California in Santa Cruz.
Dr. Fischer has published so far about 230 peer reviewed papers and has given close to 350 invited presentations at national and international conferences. He was nominated as Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Magnetics Society in 2011. For his achievements of “hitting the 10nm resolution milestone with soft X-ray microscopy” he received the Klaus Halbach Award at the Advanced Light Source in 2010.
Dr. Fischer is Fellow of the APS and IEEE.

Agenda
5:15 PM-6:00PM - Socializing and Pizza
6:00PM-6:30PM - Speaker - Kathleen Kramer
6:30PM-7:00PM - Panelists/Kathleen Discussion
7:00PM-7:30PM - Q&A
Objectives:
- Leverage success stories to help build excitement among our existing and future leadership
- Identify “Wins” that we can use as models to copy or expand upon
- Discuss the use of metrics regarding successes in different areas such as STEM or member engagement at different entities like Chapters and to show how DEI has helped groups accomplish goals using the Situation-Action-Results (SAR) framework.
- Talk about what worked and what didn’t in various initiatives
