IEEE FUNCTIONAL EMAIL ALIASES

To help facilitate communication between members and geographic units, the IEEE has established a functional email alias option. With this service, a Chapter can maintain one email address no matter how often it changes officers. Example: chicago.pes@ieee.org or france.ems@ieee.org. For more information, visit the IEEE functional alias registration page.

IEEE VOLUNTEER RESOURCES

General resources that pertain to most IEEE volunteer roles, as well as links to other resource collections are available on the IEEE Volunteer Resources Page.
