IEEE members are expected to support the organization’s mission, behave according to the Code of Conduct and IEEE Code of Ethics, and to invite others who will do the same to join.  To see the additional responsibilities expected of section positions follow the links below.

Many volunteers that have held unelected positions would welcome someone else willing to take over; contact the section chair if you’re interested.  Online training and/or mentoring is available.
