How does the US Congress function (when it does)? And what issues do Senators and Representatives care most about? What is it like to work in Congress? How can individuals contribute to the workings of Congress? IEEE-USA offers two or three people each year a chance to get involved and participate as science and technology policy advisors, either to Congress or the State Department. IEEE’s Central Texas Section has had the honor of sending several people over the years to participate in this amazing, life-changing opportunity. Find out how this program works and hear stories from our most recent IEEE-USA Government Fellow.
