IEEE accomplishments

Although I started my relation with IEEE in 1958 as a Student member (16 years old), of the Institute of Radio Engineers – IRE, most of my volunteer activities were for the last 25 years. During that period I became the Chairman of the Argentine Section and co-founder and president of the Computer Society and Engineering Management Chapters, and other board responsibilities in the mentioned organizations. Also a member of the Communications Society and the Social Implications of Technology Society.-

In 1988 I was the Chairman of Latincon’88, the regional event at that time with Marvin Minsky (MIT) and Ray Dolby as keynote speakers with the participation of IEEE Students from 14 Latin American countries.

At Region 9 (Latin America), I became the first Strategic Planning Director (1984-1985) and Secretary-Treasurer during Hugo Fernandez Verstegen Directorship (1994-1995).
Member and referee at the Industry Advisory Board of IEEE Software Magazine for 12 years (1992-2004), participating in the International Annual Meetings and organizing one of them in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Awarded with the Third Millennium Medal for “Outstanding achievements and contributions” (2000) and several Certificates of recognition for services to IEEE.
