Mr Clint Galea

Young Professionals Chair

I joined IEEE YP late in 2016 with the role of a Vice-Chairman. The role consists of representing the sub-section with the Chairman and help in good decision taking to expand further the exposure of the sub-section and bring new young professionals to our group. Given that we are currently a small team, I also help to come up with and organise events, together with maintaining our Facebook page.
