As we begin to put 2020 behind us, it felt like IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) members could use a bit more of this experience in the coming years. A new event series called \u2018Power at the Table\u2019, hosted by the Women in Engineering (WIE) committee, kicked-off in April (Fig- ure 1). This series is designed to celebrate the stories and voices of people changing the face of technology. PELS offers an abundance of resources to help develop its members\u2019 technical acumen, so this series is focused on helping members define success within their careers, in whatever way it feels authentically aligned with their own personal goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>For more about this article see link below.\u00a0<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/document\/9536508\">https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/document\/9536508<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><i>For the open access PDF link of this article please click\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/stamp\/stamp.jsp?tp=&amp;arnumber=9536508\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a certain magic happens when you sit down at a table and have the opportunity to genuinely listen to the stories, advice, and knowledge that those around you have [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"magazine-categories":[153],"class_list":["post-4637","magazine","type-magazine","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","magazine-categories-women-in-engineering"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 -
