Hierarchy, Structure and Membership Types
-
Definition.
An IEEE organizational unit is a subset
of the entire IEEE membership that has been
formed to carry out particular educational,
geographic, professional, technical, or other
appropriate activities of interest and service
to those who are members of that
organizational unit as permitted by law.
-
Hierarchy.
Each IEEE organizational unit shall be an
integral part of the IEEE and not a separate organization.
-
Membership.
Membership in an organizational unit may be
automatic, that is, by virtue of being an IEEE
member, or it may be by member choice.
-
Requirement.
Membership in an organizational unit may
require dues, assessments, or other forms of payment.
-
Structure.
An organizational unit may contain other
organizational units. (See Bylaw I-303.2
for a definition of major IEEE organizational
units.)
