Section Ideas Required

• In early 2008 – IEEE launched a five year plan to expand IEEE visibility to the global public

• This is not just an IEEE staff activity – it is the responsibility of each IEEE volunteer throughout the world

Section Ideas Required

• It is the responsibility of the Section

and Council chairs of IEEE Region 10 –

to get to know, and to work cooperatively

with the National Societies of their

Country.

Section Ideas required

• One excellent way to enhance the IEEE

Public Visibility in IEEE Region 10 – and

in all of the countries outside of North

America – is by working cooperatively

With National Societies using NSAs

(National Society Agreements) as a

starting point

Section Ideas required

--- but following through with real jointcooperative activities, such as• Joint Award projects• Technical Seminars• Training courses – both technical and non-technical• Others – see www.ieee.org/nsa, and click “Ideas for cooperation”

Section Ideas Required

As previously noted, it is the responsibility ofthe Section and Council chairs of IEEE Region 10 – to get to know, and to work cooperatively with the National Societies of their country. This activity should help upgrade the personal and professional lives of the IEEE – and NS – members, and also of the technical community – while expanding the Public Visibilty of both organizations

Section Ideas Required

In IEEE Region 10 –

26 National Society Agreements (NSA)

24 Sister Society Agreements (SSA)

Thus, we have a great opportunity to

generate all types of cooperation with the

National Societies – and achieve the

desired exposure / visibility to the public

Section Ideas Required

• The more effort that we put into the

cooperation with the National Societies,

the more IEEE – and the NS – will get

out of the liason – as well as achieving

more Public Visibility for both

organizations

Section Ideas required

Some examples of IEEE Sections and Councils working together successfully with outside organizations include –• The IEEE Italian Section has workedwith AEIT for publishing a limited numberof Spectrum articles per year. They alsohave organized a Joint Award for youngresearchers

Section Ideas required

• The IEEE Chile Section has initiateda Joint Award with AIE – an industryassociation with 40 member companies• The IEEE Singapore Section has worked with local universities in Pre -College education – to develop and run aComputer Camp for young people –approximate ages 12 – 15 years

Section Ideas Required

In each case – the Energy, Enthusiasm,

Spirit – And Public Visibility – of each

IEEE Section involved was greatly

enhanced. These are just a few of many

Successes!!!

TRY IT!!! – YOU MIGHT LIKE IT!!!

-and the creation of jointcooperative activities

The IEEE Section is the key to the success of IEEE-
