Dear Madam/Sir, I am honored to have been put on the ballot in the upcoming IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc)'s annual election by its Nomination and Election Committee. I am running for a Member-at-Large (MAL) position from the Americas (North America/Latin America) region, which is separate from Asia Pacific (AP) region and Europe, Middle-East, and Africa (EMEA) region. Among the six MAL candidates from the Americas region, you can vote for twocandidates to fill two open positions in this region. I joined the IEEE 26 years ago as a student member and now am an IEEE Fellow and an active ComSoc volunteer. Over the years, I have contributed greatly to some of ComSoc's important publication editorial boards and conferences organization committees. If elected, I will work hard to reduce ComSoc operation costs while increasing its services; continue globalization and increase industry participation; nurturing future ComSoc leaders and providing additional membership benefits and opportunities to young members. You can read more about my position statement at http://www.tom4comsoc.org It will be my privilege to help move ComSoc to the next level of integrated participation and success.
