2025 IEEE Leadership Training for Washington NoVa and Baltimore Sections
February 8 @ 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM EST
Ever wanted to lead and manage a group of multidisciplinary engineers? Would you like to get the most out of your IEEE membership? The Washington Section proudly hosts the 2025 IEEE Leadership Training, in partnership with the Northern Virginia and Baltimore Sections. The purpose of this training is to familiarize volunteer leaders with the structure of IEEE and have them gain insight into IEEE systems and tools.
We strongly encourage all current IEEE section and chapter officers to attend the training, learn new skills, and make new contacts to help improve their organizational units (i.e., chapters and sections). In addition, any IEEE members interested in gaining direct leadership and volunteer experience in a friendly IEEE atmosphere are welcome to attend. Volunteering is an excellent way to build professional networks, learn more about businesses in the community, and discover exciting opportunities to contribute to the many organizational units across our sections.
Complimentary food, drink, and snacks will be provided throughout the day, including a light breakfast which begins at 8:30 AM and a catered lunch after the training concludes at noon. Following lunch, members are invited to stay and continue discussions into the afternoon, but the training sessions will run from 9 AM to 12 PM.
Virtual attendance is available yet discouraged as this leadership training is intended as an in-person event.
