Chapters
Each of IEEE’s 39 Technical Societies is a global collection of members interested in a specific area, from aerospace to vehicular. (See IEEE Society Memberships for a full list.) Members may pay society dues and join a society, which usually includes a publication and discounts on journals and conferences. (Non-IEEE members may join a society at a non-IEEE member rate without joining IEEE.) There are also six Technical Councils – groups of societies working on a broader area.
Society members within a geographic area may form a local chapter, which is led and supported by the geographical unit (typically the section). While leadership roles and meeting announcements go only to society members, their meetings and presentations are usually open to everyone including non-IEEE members. Announcements in the calendar will specify when a meeting is closed.
The following is a list of all chapters spanning the Northern VA Section. Where chapters span two or more sections the “lead” section (responsible for reporting chapter activity) is listed first. Some chapters exist separately in both Northern VA and Washington, but only the Northern VA chapter is listed below.
