  10. Region, Area & Geographic Council • Region (10) • All parts of the world are in a Region. • Established to help manage the activities of the IEEE Sections. • Areas • Established as parts of a Region – management and administrative organizational unit of the Region • Geographic Councils (18) • Formed by two or more Sections to help achieve common goals (i.e. produce newsletter, conduct joint meetings). • Report to the Sections that formed it.

  11. Sections & Subsection • Section (326) • Basic operating geographic organizational unit of IEEE • Formed by the MGA Board • Need at least 50 members to form a Section • Subsection (34) • Subunit of a Section • Need at least 20 member to form a subsection

  13. Affinity Groups • A non technical subunit of a Region, Section, Group of Sections or a Geographic Council • Established by a group of 6 or more IEEE members • Responsible to both the Geographic Unit and to the parent organization • 277 as of 31 Dec 2007

  15. Geographic Unit Relationships • Regions oversee Sections • Sections oversee Subsections, Chapters, Student Branches and Affinity Groups • Councils are comprised of Sections, and exist at the pleasure of the member Sections • Some Councils (but not all) have Chapters and Affinity Groups, and therefore oversee them

  16. Geographic Unit Relationships • Affinity Group Parents also oversee Affinity Groups • Women In Engineering (WIE) • Consultants’ Networks • Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD) • Life Members Committee • Student Branches oversee Student Branch Chapters • Societies also oversee Chapters and Student Branch Chapters

  17. IEEE Sections • Sections provide a community of colleagues • Members build a network through local Section, Chapter, Student Branch activities • Develop new skills by taking an active role • Gain management, teamwork and leadership experience • Gain recognition for accomplishments and recognize the achievements of others

  18. Section Size by # Members - All Regions(not including Student)(out of 325 Sections – 31 Dec 2007) • Average = 912 • Santa Clara Valley (R6) is the largest Section – 12,754
