17. Regional Activities Board Organization

18. Regional Activities BoardMission To serve the needs of the members of the Institute by maintaining, enhancing & supporting the geographical entities of the IEEE. RAB recognizes the intimate relationship between Sections & Societies & their Chapters & will work with other entities of the IEEE to foster improved interactions. RAB is also responsible for all aspects of IEEE membership & membership development, including recruitment, retention, elevation & service, as well as the related operational & budget issues.

19. RAB Committees • Operating Committee • Nominations & Appointments • Potentials Advisory • Strategic Planning • Student Activities • Awards & Recognition • Finance • Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD) • Industry Relations Joint RAB Committees • RAB/EAB Reference List of Educational Program • RAB/TAB Section/Chapter Support • Transnational IEEE Committees (assigned to RAB by the IEEE BoD) • IEEE Admission and Advancement • IEEE Membership Development 14 Committee Chairs

20. Student Activities CommitteeMission To provide undergraduate and graduate students who have an interest in the Electrical/Electronics or related engineering professions with opportunities for education, technical and professional development in preparation for entry into the profession.
