- A Chapter is the technical subunit of one or more IEEE Sections.
- Society Chapters consist of Members from one or more IEEE Societies who share technical interests and geographical proximity.
- Chapter activities may include guest speakers, workshops and seminars as well as social functions.
- Chapters provide Society members with valuable opportunities to network at a local level enabling their personal and professional growth.
Support for Chapter Chairs
Information on support for Chapter Chairs can be found on the IEEE Section Chapter Support home page.Online L-31 Form
If you have not yet used the online L-31 form, you should start now! File your meeting reports online in only minutes using the new system. Visit: http://www.ieee.org/L31. See also the Technical Chapter & Affinity Group Required Reports home page.
Note that the L-31 system now uses the vtools mechanism, which can also be used to schedule events. When scheduling events in advance, the event is automatically spread to the relavant IEEE webpages (note, not yet the section webpage) and it allows also registrations and much more. Additionally, it allows you to create a meeting report after the meeting in just a few clicks. For the meeting tools: VTOOLS Meetings.
Categories of meetings
- Administrative
- Meetings of the Section/Chapter/Affinity Group Executive Committee to discuss Unit administrative matters. (for example - elections, Section functions, activity planning, etc.)
- Technical
- Meetings of a technical nature specific to the needs of the Unit, or of interest to the members; educational meetings usually fall under the technical category. Society Chapters must hold and report a minimum of two technical meetings annually in order to qualify for the rebate.
