Spring / Printemps 2017 35 T he IEEE Reliability Society Chapter of Toronto Section was recently rec- ognized for a third time with an award at the society’s annual awards ban- quet, held this year in Orlando on January 27. The Reliability Society (RS) Chapter in Toronto is a part of the E&HE (Engineering & Human Environment) Joint Chapter, representing the following additional IEEE societies: Tech- nology and Engineering Management (TEMS), Education, Professional Communication, Social Implications of Technology (SSIT) and Product Safety Engineering (PSES). Such a serial recognition for the Toronto RS Chapter is a proud moment as it is the only chapter in Region 7 to have earned this distinction three times – in 2013, 2015 and 2016. The Toronto Chapter found a distinguished place for itself with de- livery of quality chapter activities, developing leadership, building bridges with other society chapters in E&HE as well as professional organizations such as The Institution of Engineering and Technology, Professional Engineers Ontario and alumni associations of leading universities in Canada. Member contributions and participation in professional activities of other national and international organizations were other important considerations. Leading the Toronto Chapter team for all three awards has been Rabiz Foda (SMIEEE). Other members of the team are Muthanna Al Khishali (SMIEEE), Jan Jekielek (MIEEE), and Doug Nix (SMIEEE). ■ Reliability Society in Toronto recognized three times with global Chapter Awards Rabiz Foda; Chair, Engineering & Human Environment (Joint Chapter), IEEE Toronto Section IEEE Canadian Review - La Revue canadienne de l’IEEE is published by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.’s Canadian unit. | All rights reserved. © 2017 by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., 3 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016-5997, U.S.A. | The editorial content of this magazine does not represent official positions of the IEEE or its organizational units. | Return Canadian undeliverables to: IEEE Canada, 685 Woodcrest Blvd, London, Ontario N6K 1P8 Member of / membre constituant de Engineering Institute of Canada l'Institut canadien des ingénieurs IEEECanadian Review La revue canadienne de l’IEEE Its principal objectives are: To inform Canadian members of IEEE on issues related to the impacts of technology, and its role in supporting economic development and societal benefits within Canada.
