CDC 2023 Launch Breakfast Attendees with Prof. Philip E. Paré in the middle.
This committee was formed in a breakfast organized by Philip E. Paré (Phil) at the IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC) 2023 and supported by the CSS Executive Committee. Inspired by the success of the IEEE Computer Society's SYP Committee in increasing community engagement, Phil proposed the formation of NextCom to the CSS Executive Committee (ExCom) and got approved. Invitees for the breakfast were pulled from the CDC 2023 Student Support Programs applicants and the Meet the Faculty Candidate Poster Session registrants. Meet the NextCom leadership team!
