Abstract
In November 2022, the IEEE Board of Directors approved the formation of the new IEEE Humanitarian Technologies Board (HTB). In January 2023, John Verboncoeur, then IEEE Technical Activities Board (TAB) vice president, appointed me, your humble IEEE Industry Applications Magazine editor, to serve as a TAB representative on the HTB. I was happy to accept the appointment. Over the course of the last year, I have been actively involved as a member of the HTB and learned through involvement in Board activities. In this article, I want to share with our readers a few details regarding why the HTB was formed, what the organization does, and how our members can get involved.
