Member and Geographic Activities

IEEE Member and Geographic Activities provide unique opportunities to attend technical presentations, create strong peer-to-peer connections, and participate in leadership opportunities that can make a positive distinction in IEEE members' jobs and careers.

Activities take place on a local level through the development and maintenance of geographical organizational units: Regions, Sections, Technical Chapters, Affinity Groups and Student Branches.

Member and Geographic Activities are volunteer-driven by members and the IEEE Member and Geographic Activities Board (MGA Board).
