Society/Technical Council Chapters are your local link to the valuable resources available from the IEEE and the 38 IEEE Technical Societies.
IEEE Society/Technical Council Chapters - the local branch of your Society or Technical Council.
- A Chapter is the technical subunit of one or more IEEE Section.
- Society/Technical Council Chapters consist of Members from one or more IEEE Societies/Technical Councils who share technical interests and geographical proximity.
- Chapter activities may include guest speakers, workshops and seminars as well as social functions.
- Chapters provide Society members with valuable opportunities to network at a local level enabling their personal and professional growth.
IEEE Society Chapter Coordinator Roster
The IEEE Society Chapter Coordinator Roster lists contact information for each Society's chapter coordinators.
Chapter Chairs' Reference Guide
The Chapter Chairs' Reference Guide (PDF, 311KB) is intended to assist you in your role as a Chapter Officer. It will ex-plain your responsibilities as a Chapter Officer, and give guidelines for the conduct of business and activities. The handbook has been organized to reduce the time required to find answers. Please contact IEEE Section/Chapter Support Staff if you have suggestions on how to improve the organization and/or content of the handbook.
How to create a new IEEE chapter
There are three different paths one can take to develop an IEEE chapter: form a new chapter, form a new "joint chapter," or expand an existing chapter. Start by researching your area, then decide which route will best suit your needs and support a healthy, active, Society/Technical Council Chapter environment. Learn more about creating a chapter.
Required reporting
In order to maintain viability and to ensure that all chapters are meeting the needs of their members, each chapter is required to submit annual reports.
Online L-31 Form
If you have not yet used the online L-31 form, you should start now. File your meeting reports online in only minutes using the new system. You can send copies of the report to your Section and Society using a CC feature, and the IEEE will receive your data instantly. Visit the IEEE vTools Meeting System page for more information.
IEEE Society Chapter Funding Guide
