Want to start a chapter in your area?
The process is simple. All you need is the signatures of 12 IEEE LEOS members and an energetic group of volunteers to help organize meetings. (http://www.ieee.org/portal/pages/tab/cha/newchap.html)

Why start a LEOS chapter?
LEOS chapters provide: a format for networking and interacting with colleagues.
• access to the LEOS Distinguished Lecturer Awards program.
• chapter funding to enhance chapter programs.
• a venue for student members to assemble and interact with undergraduate and graduate students, faculty members and post-doctoral researchers, and members from industry. This has proven an excellent opportunity for members to encourage students and provide academic incentives (e.g., “Best Student Paper awards, student projects, student competitions). LEOS encourages student participation by offering free membership in both LEOS and IEEE for one year to new student members with the membership voucher program and reduced member fees for students continuing their membership, LEOS Graduate Student Fellowship program, LEOS student travel grants, LEOS student project program.
• support to LEOS chapters through our regional Vice Presidents and our dedicated executive office staff as the “first point of contact” for resources, questions, problems, information concerning IEEE and LEOS.
Plus—
• LEOS Chapter Awards recognize the efforts of the chapters in maintaining strong programs to enhance the careers of its members.
• LEOS Membership support provides membership vouchers to chapters for recruiting new members. The vouchers provide free membership in LEOS and reduced membership in IEEE for one year to new members. Some of the benefits of membership in LEOS are: free online access to the LEOS journals, free access to the LEOS Digital Library, free bi-monthly Newsletter, free LEOS Membership Directory and searchable online access, free IEEE web account, registration discounts at LEOS sponsored and co-sponsored conferences.
