IEEE Region 4 and 6 Annual OpCom (Operations Committee) Meeting The joint meeting of the Region 4 & 6 operating committees is an opportunity to transact business and learn from fellow volunteers. There are region and joint meetings. We have the opportunities to hear from IEEE leaders including IEEE President, CEO, and MGA Vice President. Training on volunteer tools (vTools, OU Analytics), and different IEEE activities. The in-person meeting is by invitation-only for members of the Region 4 and Region 6 OpCom and guest speakers. This will be held in Burlingame, CA, USA. We are aiming to offer a livestream via Zoom of some of the training and presentation sessions for IEEE volunteers in IEEE Region 4 and Region 6 to access the content.

[]Very little is known about the Indian Nuclear industry, particularly by the moden day society in the USA. Often viewed thru the lens of the Cold War (an incorrect perception by the way), over the last decade it has come to be known as a trustworthy nuclear partner and growing customer for western nuclear technology. The genesis of the current state of India's nuclear energy strategy can be easily traced to Homi J Bhabha (HJB) who was a well known contemporary of the famous physicists and scientists of the 1930s - well before the outbreak of WW-II. Soon after India gained her independance from the British empire in 1947, HJB pioneered a massive movement towards fundamental scientific, mathematical research in India and laid the foundations/ground work for its present day progress. Most current leaders of India's nuclear industry were all hand picked by HJB and bought into his vision. To understand this more intimately, this talk will reflect on his life and contributions as well as briefly touch upon his vision. It is hoped that this presentation, will help spark a future series of talks where we can learn better, how nuclear energy can potentially become a basis for the world's energy needs. This lecture also commenorates the anniversary of his demise (January 24, 1960), Some feedback from attendees of this event: "Thank you so for enlightening us this evening about the life and contributions of Dr. Homi Bhabha. I enjoyed the presentation very much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart." -- Satish Udpa, University Distinguished Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Michigan State University. "Thanks. The presentation today was excellent." -- R. Uthurusamy (Samy), Retired, Past Director & Staff Research Scientist, General Motors.
