Abstract

The general theme of the 2019 IEEE Electrical Insulation Conference was volunteerism and service to the electrical industry, and I can't think of a better example of how volunteer teams come together than to host such an informative and entertaining event. The enthusiasm for what many would consider a dry topic — electrical insulation — was contagious, the oral and poster presentations were informative, and the venue was spectacular. The plenary presentation during the opening session was given by Dr. Paul Lewin of the University of Southampton, a dedicated volunteer himself, on the benefits, both personal and professional, of participating as a volunteer for IEEE. His logical approach, as evidenced by his own history with IEEE, was both entertaining and inspiring. And, most importantly, we all learned the difference between beer and cookies. (For the answer to that challenge, you must come to EIC 2020).
