Forming an Affinity Group

What is an “Affinity Group?” “An affinity group shall be a local unit

of an IEEE entity or standing committee established by petition to the parent entity to fulfill the purposes of the IEEE.”

The entity gets a $180 rebate for each affinity group that holds 2 or more meetings per year.

What are the requirements?

Submit a petition, which includes: Name of the Section or Sections. Name of the sponsoring entity (e.g.:

GOLD). Name of the organizer (who becomes

interim Chair pending election of a regular Chair at a later organization meeting).

Signatures of at least six (6) IEEE Members (member grade or higher; i.e. non-Student members), who are Members of the Section(s), involved.

Where can I get the forms?

Region 10 GOLD Educational Activities

Aim of the Educational Activities

Actions

Aim of the GOLD Educational Activities

By offering educational opportunities to young IEEE members, IEEE/GOLD can attract attention and regain more young members because of offering a necessary means for more success in the job

As GOLD is not able to create educational offers only out of itself it is looking at other IEEE entities which already offer educational opportunities to their members

Suggest Actions

Tutorials can act as introductions to the field and thus attract new, young GOLD members to the Society.

Free courses let GOLD members have a look at the offerings of the Societies and thus attract interested GOLD members to join Societies.

Introduction Creation of

Transition Actions

Introduction

Almost 80% of the membership is lost when they become from students to members.

SAC and GOLD work in their own projects and programs and never with any synergy between committees.

GOLD and SAC in order to increase the participation of both Committees and reduce the lost of membership.
