 | Identify members (you need a minimum of six individuals) who match the
GOLD criteria (graduated within the last ten years). |
 | Fill out the Affinity group
petition. If you want to handle the whole
process electronically, send this form with just the names and member numbers
of the six petitioners. Ask each of the six individuals to email Lauren
Leaston at
l.leaston@ieee.org and express an interest in forming the affinity
group. Please remind them to include their member numbers in the email. A
sample petition is available to help you fill
the petition out. |
 | Once the petition is approved (10-14 days), you will be notified by email.
Your section will get the section rebate immediately. |
 | Plan your affinity group activities for the year and come up with a
tentative budget. A
sample plan is available to help in the
process. |
 | Next, fill out a
Quick Start Initiative Fund (QSIF) form to
request funding. A
sample QSIF form is available to get you
started. |
