Henry’s introduction to the IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) began through publications, specifically the IEEE Transactions, while he was in graduate school. He recognized the importance of collaboration, shared work, and bringing members together through journal publications and involvement in conferences, to ensure the research has an impact. His involvement in PES grew as he became actively involved in various leadership roles. Henry currently serves on the IEEE PES 2026 Governing Board as Member-At-Large for Emerging Technologies, which aligns with his career focus of integrating multidisciplinary technologies into power systems to improve reliability and resilience. He is also Chair of the Power System Dynamic Performance Committee (PSDP) and Vice Chair of the Analytical Methods for Power System Committee (AMPS). "Serving on the board is a way of giving back to the Society—helping to set directions and to build an even stronger platform for the next generation so they, too, can benefit in their careers," he says.

Qun Zhao Sun describes her experience within the IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) as being a second home, her career home.
