Marilyn Catis drives author engagement for IEEE and has over 27 years of experience delivering new products and services in a professional association setting. Over the past 16 years, Marilyn has focused on mentoring and building new teams to address new business challenges. She spent seven years building two new revenue streams (certification and education) for the IEEE Communications Society. Marilyn has been in her current role in Publishing Operations since 2016.
