The MGA Leadership Training Initiative Ad Hoc Committee is proud to announce the release of the Quick Start Training (for Geographic Unit Leaders), a new training program designed for Geographic Unit Officers in their first 30 days in office.  Quick Start Training was developed to help new Officers more quickly understand the roles and responsibilities of their positions and begin the process of member engagement.

The release of the Quick Start Training acknowledges our Section leaders' highest priorities as voted on at Sections Congress 2008 in Quebec City.  Please refer to Sections Congress Recommendation #3.

Members of IEEE automatically become members of their local IEEE Section, allowing them to share technical, professional, and personal interests with others in the worldwide member community of IEEE.  For tools and resources to assist with your Section, visit Geographic Unit Operations Support.

A Chapter is the technical subunit of one or more IEEE Sections. Society Chapters are your local link to the valuable resources available from IEEE and its 39 Technical Societies.  Chapter activities may include guest speakers, workshops, and seminars, as well as social functions.  Chapters provide Society members with valuable opportunities to network at a local level - enabling both personal and professional growth.

Share technical, professional, and personal interests with others in the IEEE worldwide member community.  Wherever you live, there's a good chance there is an IEEE meeting near you.  Select your Geographic Region from the list below and learn about IEEE Section and Chapter activities in your Region.
