DUTIES OF CHAPTER OFFICERS
IEEE Vehicular Technology Society
An active IEEE chapter serves the Society's members in a given
section or regional council, as well as interested non-members.
Technical speakers provide insight into the latest happenings in the
field and the meetings provide a venue for one to network with
fellow engineers with similar professional interests. All chapter
chairpersons must be members of the IEEE and of the Society. The
duties of the chapter chairperson are the following:
Locate technical speakers for the chapter meetings
NOTE: The Society may reimburse speaker's travel or
lodging expenses, but only for speakers in the
Society Speakers Program and only by prior arrangement.
Inquire with your local Section or Council whether it will assist
in cases where the Society does not.
Arrange no-cost location for technical meetings.
Advertise meeting
Write and submit notice to local
Section or Council newsletter and Society or Council Web Page. Use
direct mailing if appropriate. Do not rely exclusively on e-mail
unless you are certain that all members can be reached in that
manner.
If your Section or Council provides funding for it, provide
refreshments for attendees (optional).
Hold technical chapter meetings at least 2, preferably 4 or more
times per year.
If your Section or Council provides funding for it, take speaker to
pre-meeting dinner (optional).
Fill out and submit L-31 form
for each meeting and return to
VTS Chapters Coordinator Gaspar Messina. Your Section or Council
may also require a copy of the L-31.
NOTE: Your Section or Council will not submit the L-31 to the
VTS Chapters Coordinator. You must do that yourself.
Keep the VTS Chapters Coordinator
and the VTS Webmaster
apprised of changes in the identities of chapter officers and of the
URL of the chapter web page.
