IEEE UK and Ireland Section | 2024 Chapter, Council and Affinity Group Election Results
IEEE encourages an orderly and regular turnover of officers as a routine feature of IEEE volunteerism to ensure a healthy flow of new ideas and invigoration of all organisational units.
Under the IEEE MGA Operations Manual, all IEEE organisational units (including Sections, Chapters, Councils and Affinity Groups) are required to run open and transparent elections of officers every two years, with a volunteer Elections Committee established, a Call for Nominations circulated to all eligible voting members followed by Electronic Voting via eBallot.
During 2024, 24 Organisational Units (Chapters, Councils, Affinity Groups) to date who report to the IEEE UK and Ireland Section have successfully completed elections for OU Leadership.
We would like to congratulate these Organisational Units for successfully undertaking this process, which facilitated extensive engagement with their members over a number of months. This process facilitated members to be actively involved in nominating and electing their OU leadership.
We would like to acknowledge and thank the officers whose terms have ended and encourage them to continue their IEEE volunteer journey by exploring other opportunities and roles to contribute to the IEEE community whether at Chapter, Council, Affinity Group, Section, Region or Society level.
We would also like to acknowledge and express our appreciation to the volunteer Chapter, Council and Affinity Group Election Members who issued the Call for Nominations, prepared the Slate of Candidates, launched the Election Process via eBallot and reported the Election Results.
