Section 5 - Intersociety Activities

 

5.7   Relationships with National Societies

  1. Objective. The IEEE establishes agreements with National Societies to enhance IEEE’s fields of interests on a global basis.  The purpose of these agreements shall be to assist the development and elevation of technical skills and professional growth for members of participating organizations.  It is IEEE policy to encourage such activities.

  2. Responsibility & Approval.  The IEEE Executive Director shall be responsible for oversight of these agreements. The IEEE President is empowered to sign new agreements or extensions of existing agreements on behalf of the IEEE Board of Directors as long as the agreements follow the conditions listed in 5.7.C and are reported to the IEEE Board of Directors.

  3. Conditions for Establishing an Agreement.

    1. Each agreement shall be tailored to the country where the National Society exists, using the Board of Directors approved wording.  A template shall be available through IEEE Corporate Activities. Agreements that modify the wording, other than deletions of sections, shall be approved by the Executive Committee.

    2. The National Society must provide some benefit to the IEEE.

    3. The agreement may provide for a joint membership program, including a membership dues reduction. However, there must be strong evidence that the joint membership program will increase the number of IEEE members beyond the normal growth pattern.  The dues reduction shall not exceed 10 percent of the base IEEE dues and regional assessment.

  4. Renewal.  All agreements shall be reviewed for renewal at intervals of not more than five years after two initial three-year terms.

  5. National Society Agreements with IEEE Societies. The IEEE Societies may establish agreements with National Societies.  Guidelines for their establishment shall be provided by IEEE Technical Activities.  IEEE Society Presidents shall have the authority to sign such agreements.  Agreements shall be reported to the IEEE Board of Directors.
