IEEE WA Section and Chapters: Call for 2026 nominations

Organising OU: Section

Nomination deadline: Deadline is Friday 24th October 2025

Who can nominate/be nominated: Any IEEE member in WA can nominate or self-nominate for the award.

The IEEE is the largest professional engineering organisation in the world with over 400,000 members worldwide. Western Australia has over 600 members.

Each year the term of the elected officers ends on the 31st Dec and the newly elected officers commence early in the following year. Many of the volunteers continue to support the IEEE and nominate from year to year (within limits of maximum terms). The IEEE Western Australia Section and it's technical society chapters are inviting nominations from existing IEEE committee members and also members at large to serve on its committees in 2026. New volunteers are welcome.

The main elected roles are: chair, vice chair, treasurer and secretary on each of the committees. There are other appointed role opportunities e.g. webmaster, technical activities coordinator, awards and recognition coordinator, student activities coordinator, educational activities coordinator, membership development. These appointed roles are selected from the pool of other elected officers.

As a member of these committees you will get the opportunity to work with other IEEE volunteers and perhaps gain new skills or sharpen existing ones that can be applied in volunteer roles or help you in your employment. Some examples: organisation skills, minute taking, financial management, seminar and conference operations. The amount of time that you devote to volunteering is up to you and the role that you might enjoy, either because it suits your existing skills or you would like some challenges.

It can be a foot in the door to other IEEE volunteer activities locally and internationally. IEEE volunteer activity sometimes provides support and credibility towards your own career progression/recognition.
