Florida West Coast Section of IEEE mourns the passing of Jim Howard, on April 5, 2020. Jim was a dedicated volunteer in our Region and throughout IEEE. Jim served on the IEEE Board of Directors in 2002-2003 (Region 3 Director) and in 2012 (IEEE-USA President). He served as a VP for both AESS and PES. From the list below, you can see the extent of Jim’s service to the IEEE. This is not even a complete list, it was the most recent info I found — but I know that Jim’s service never stopped. He continued serving as the Florida West Coast Section treasurer, a Mentor in Region 3, was active on our Strategic Operations committee telecons, and was general Chair of SoutheastCon 2018.
