Section 9 - Activities of IEEE Organizational Units

 

9.13   Guidelines for Individual Benefits and Services Committee 

Membership benefit programs are initiated and monitored as adjuncts to membership in IEEE, whose principal purposes are technical and professional. The following guidelines shall be observed by the Individual Benefits and Services Committee when developing programs for consideration by the Executive Committee.

  1. The program shall have broad applicability and not individually or collectively overwhelm the principal purposes of the IEEE. 

  2. The programs offered should be of the kind not easily obtained on favorable terms elsewhere. 

  3. The cost to IEEE of establishing, publicizing and monitoring the programs shall be commensurate with the services offered. 

  4. The programs shall generally be available to all members of the IEEE, and will be offered only if there is reason to believe that they are of interest to a sufficiently large number of members.

  5. The IEEE, when deemed appropriate, shall be in a position to participate in royalty income from an approved affinity program, so long as this participation will not have an adverse impact on the overall benefit, service and financial operation of the program. 

  6. The services of external administrators, rather than staff, shall be engaged to implement the programs. 

  7. Announcements of member benefit programs shall make clear the limited responsibility and involvement of the IEEE in such programs. 

  8. The programs shall not jeopardize IEEE's tax-exempt status.
     
  9. All necessary steps shall be taken to minimize IEEE liability and the possibility of legal action involving IEEE.  All programs shall be reviewed by legal counsel.
