I-107. Organizational Units Defined;
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-304.2
for a definition of major IEEE organizational
units.)
