SPEAKER: Russell T Harrison, Senior Legislative Representative – Grassroots Affairs

Russell is the Senior Legislative Representative for Grassroots Activities for IEEE-USA. He is responsible for helping members in the U.S. interact with, and ultimately influence, elected officials. Since starting at IEEE-USA in 2005, Russell has become one of the most sought-after speakers on the staff, having addressed over 100 local IEEE groups in the United States. His talks focus on current public policy issues, how they will impact the engineering profession and what individual engineers can do about them.

Prior to IEEE-USA, Russell directed grassroots programs at the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries and the American Iron and Steel Institute. In these positions he represented the recycling and steel industries on Capitol Hill and in state capitols on a variety of issues as a professional lobbyist.
