Top Ten Things to Have on a Section Web Page

1. The IEEE Masterbrand: To be recognized by people everywhere, an organization's identity brand must be used consistently in all forms of communications.  Be sure your Web page has the correct IEEE logo.
2. Section Officers and Contact Information: A key factor in the success of any organization is communication.  Contact information for Section Officers is essential to keep the lines of communication open and to keep information flowing between members.  (Be sure to obtain permission from your Officers to have their e-mail address or any other contact information published.)  See an example.
3. Calendar of events (to be kept current): A comprehensive listing of meetings, speaker information, social events, Section election information, etc., can generate interest in Section activities, promote involvement among members, and catch the interest of non-members. 
4. List of subunits with contact information: Every Section's Web page should include a list of applicable Subunits (Subsections, Chapters, Affinity Groups, and/or Student Branches) and e-mail addresses for the Officers.  (Be sure to obtain permission from your Officers to have their e-mail address or any other contact information published.)
5. Section newsletter (PDF or HTML format): Posting your Section's newsletter on your Web page (including back-issues) makes it easy for members to keep current with Section events. 
6. Links to pages for awards, educational activities, professional activities: Include links to the appropriate IEEE pages to keep your Section members interested and informed about innovations in the technical field, educational resources available for members, career resources, conferences, and Society information.
7. Pages for section election information and procedures: Dates, call for nominations, voting, election results, etc.
8. Executive Committee meeting minutes
9. Page for "Membership Development" or "Benefits of IEEE Membership": link to the IEEE Benefits and/or Join IEEE pages.
10. FAQs: Such as, How do I form a Chapter of my Society?  How can I be elevated to Senior Member Grade?  How do I get information into our Section's Newsletter?  How do I subscribe to the Section's e-mail list?

• If available, you can add a history of your Section, including the year of formation, significant events which occurred, and member statistics.  These may provide insight for current members and an inspiration for prospective members to join and be involved with IEEE.
