In 2025 we will offer ‘Officer Training’ to our ‘newly’ elected AND veteran officers and volunteers; as well as any IEEE member, at any grade level or position. Our wish is to help all gain a fuller awareness of the communication and management skills used within the IEEE, how they function and how to employ them both as IEEE officers, and in your everyday work and life. Classes: As an introduction to these skills, we will offer a set of IN PERSON classes supported by study materials available through the (https://r4.ieee.org/sem/) and the (https://ieee.learningpool.com/) The virtual classes will begin in the 1st week of MARCH 2025 and conclude end of MARCH. Each class will be conducted as an overview of the topic ‘de jour’ and a discussion or Q&A session to answer questions and clarify issues. (See the agenda below:) Note: Space for these classes is not like outer space, it is limited, so you must register to receive the necessary codes and passwords to attend.

The IEEE Central Indiana Joint PES/PELS/IAS Chapter is excited to host Dr. Zhaoyu Wang, a Full Professor from Iowa State University, for a PES seminar on big data analytics in power distribution grids. Attendees will have the opportunity to gain valuable insights from an industry expert, enjoy free pizza, and earn 1 PDH. Don't miss this excellent chance to learn and engage in discussions with a leading professional in the field! Abstract: Recent years have seen a dramatic growth of smart sensors in power distribution grids. The new sensing capabilities, offered by smart meters, micro-phasor measurement units, and SCADA, have extended utilities’ visibility to grid edges. However, the power industry faces new challenges in managing the massive amount of data and extracting useful and actionable information from the measurements. This talk will present a few use cases of distribution grid data. The first one is using SCADA data for measurement and verification (M&V) of the energy saving effect of conservation voltage reduction (CVR). The work is based on a recently published IEEE Standard P3102 CVR Data Collection and Management Procedures. The second one is using various outage records to quantify grid resilience and provide metrics to guide planning and operation. The third one is using smart meter data to develop a model-free framework for dynamic solar hosting capacity analysis.

Abstract: Identity and Access Management (IAM) plays a crucial role in securing digital identities and controlling access to critical systems. This presentation will cover fundamental IAM concepts, including Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and Privileged Access Management (PAM). It will also explore emerging trends such as password less authentication, AI-driven security, and decentralized identity solutions. Additionally, I will discuss key cybersecurity challenges like identity theft, MFA fatigue attacks, and insider threats, along with compliance standards such as NIST, GDPR, and PCI . Industry-specific IAM applications and implementation strategies will provide organizations with a roadmap to enhance security, mitigate risks, and ensure compliance in an evolving digital landscape. Speaker - Nirupam Samanta With over 17 years of expertise in IT, specializing in Identity and Access Management (IAM), Secure System Design, Vulnerability Management, and Risk & Compliance, I bring a proven track record of delivering strategic, secure, and innovative solutions. My experience spans working with diverse IAM and security tools (SailPoint IIQ, Oracle Identity Governance, Qualys VMDR), auditing standards (SOX, ISO 27001, PCI/DSS), and implementing access management protocols (SAML, OAuth, SSO). Certified in CISSP, CCSP, AWS Solutions Architecture, CEH, and ITIL V3, I excel in team management, technical project delivery, and fostering cross-functional collaboration to ensure security and compliance in complex IT environments.

[]One of the greatest inventors of the late 19th century, Alexander Graham Bell is probably most famous for the invention of the telephone and the ‘Bell Telephone Company’. Throughout his life, he sought to foster the advancement of scientific knowledge with his utmost dedication and sincere efforts. His career only began in earnest after his family moved from London, England to Ontario, Canada in an attempt to improve his health. He started as an elocution teacher for the deaf people where he worked tirelessly to spread an early form of sign language across America. He displayed his innovative talent with his invention of various sound recording and transmission devices. His greatest achievement remains the invention of the telephone that has changed and continues to change the way people communicate around the world. He was a pioneer, who gifted mankind with one of the most astonishing and trailblazing discoveries in human history, the telephone. AFTER the documentary - we can have a brief discussion session.
