IEEE Sections Congress 2014

IEEE Sections Congress is part of the IEEE Member and Geographic Activities Board (MGA) Strategy to implement the MGA Vision, Mission, and Goals for the purpose of fulfilling IEEE's mission. The theme of IEEE Sections Congress 2014 is "Inspiring Our Leaders of Tomorrow."

IEEE Sections Congress 2014 (SC2014) will be held 22-24 August 2014 in Amsterdam, Netherlands at the RAI Convention Centre. SC2014 is an opportunity for IEEE representatives from all over the world to participate in a unique event. SC2014 will provide the tools and training to assist geographic unit leaders in focusing their activities solely on the member and increasing members’ participation in IEEE activities. 

The goals of Sections Congress 2014 are three-fold

1. to provide an opportunity for delegates to gain information and training skills;
2. to network and build relationships with other volunteers within IEEE;
3. to serve as a forum for Section representatives and other local leaders, enabling them to voice – on behalf of the collective membership – the ideas, issues, and recommendations which will impact the development and growth of IEEE throughout the world, reinforcing its vitality and relevance to those it serves.

In addition to the individual growth and networking fostered by Sections Congress, there are more far-reaching results. 

The caucuses will generate specific, practical recommendations for action.  During the Closing Ceremony, the delegates will have the opportunity to assign a priority level to each of the recommendations through the balloting process. 

The results will be announced as part of the Ceremony and will be delivered to the IEEE Board of Directors for implementation in strategic planning for the future of IEEE.
