7.7 Professional Welfare of Members
The IEEE
is concerned with the professional welfare of its
members. The administrative,
geographical and technical units are encouraged to
pursue appropriate activities in this area, such as
the following:
- Organizing or sponsoring career
development seminars for members.
- Organizing or sponsoring educational
activities which upgrade the skills of members.
- Publishing information on existing
legislation or proposed legislation
which may affect the professional welfare of
IEEE members.
- Arranging for group insurance plans
which benefit members, provided these do
not duplicate other plans sponsored by the IEEE
and provided the IEEE unit does not
benefit financially from such plans. Prior
to establishment of an insurance plan by an
organizational unit, legal approval must
be sought through Headquarters and the plan
referred to the Board of
Directors for authorization.
