SOCIETY
Understanding MTT-S’s Worldwide Member and Geographic Activities
Today, MTT-S has some 200 chapters in every part of the world. These may be Single Society, Joint Society, Technical Council, or Student Branch Chapters.
The 36-member MTT-S Member and Geographic Activities committee helps form and support these chapters and promotes membership in the Society as a whole. The committee includes coordinators from each of IEEE’s 10 geographic regions, as well as coordinators for two IEEE-wide initiatives, Young Professionals (YP) and Women in Microwaves (WiM).
In this issue, the Microwave Newsletter offers reports from, and contact information for, our coordinators in these key areas.
