13.4 Use of Funds for Electioneering
- A. IEEE funds may not be
used for IEEE electioneering, except those
expenses normally incurred in publicity and
arrangements of meetings and those expenses
normally incurred in publication of a
newsletter or similar periodical. The same
policy is applicable to candidates for office
and to proponents and opponents of initiative
issues. Candidates for office, or
proponents or opponents of initiatives may be
invited to appear at meetings to discuss their
position, and may be reimbursed for actual
travel expenses by the organizational unit
organizing the meeting.
- The use of IEEE funds for electioneering
purposes in municipal, county, state or
Federal elections is prohibited without the
consent of the IEEE Board of Directors or the
Executive Committee acting in their behalf.
