Learn More: Know Your Section/Chapter Officers

The IEEE Geographic Roster is part of the IEEE Organization Roster.  The information in this roster is restricted to individuals who have an IEEE web account and is based on their current Officer position or Committee appointment.  If your name is not listed in the roster, you will not have access to this information.

The data is pulled directly from the IEEE membership database, and therefore reflects the most current information available.  Updates and corrections may be made by the individual volunteer using his or her web account.  The corrected data will appear following the next "refresh" within two weeks.

The following positions are currently captured within the IEEE Geographic Roster for each Section.
