R10 Annual General Meeting Name: Takako Hashimoto, Coordinator Committee: 2013-2014 R10 Women In Engineering 1-2 March 2014 Kuching, Malaysia Good morning/afternoon. Thank you for the invitation to speak to you. It is always a pleasure to meet with Student Members of IEEE and those who have recently graduated and become full IEEE Members. In past presentations, I and other IEEE Presidents have discussed -- with groups such as this -- the benefits of IEEE membership and how you should be a member and stay a member. But my experience over time tells me that – because you are here today – you are already aware of these everyday benefits.
