In 2008, The former IEEE PES President Wanda Reder announced at the IEEE PES Transmission and Distribution Conference in Chicago, Illinois the new name of PES- Power and Energy Society. This day has been officially commemorated as “PES Day” for the past four years. Every year, a theme is selected, and celebrations, including educational and humanitarian activities, youth programs, and technical contests, are organized for our members. Usually, all chapters unit and organize activities during the Month of April to celebrate this event. PES Day goal is to engage the PES volunteers with PES history and “5” PES pillars of the “More Power to the Future” vision: Advancing global participation Educating the Future Workforce Industry Activity Trends Standards Leadership Participating in Regulatory Initiatives
