We always need good volunteers to help run the Chapter and meetings. Serving as a volunteer can help you in many ways, including:

• Improve your team work skills
• Increase your management and leadership skills
• Increase your network of professional colleagues
• Improve your knowledge about IEEE, the Computer Society, and all the valuable member benefits

We welcome volunteer help from members and student members. You can do as much (or as little) as you like. (It's not difficult -- as Chapter Chair I have done all of these jobs!)

Both IEEE MGA and the IEEE Computer Society have training material for volunteers.

We collaborate on activities planning by using the IEEE Online Community. If you are an IEEE Member, join the Community to see our planning.

For a list of upcoming events, see our meetings page. To volunteer, contact the Chapter Chair.
