Form a Society Chapter

EDS encourages any interest group in any region to initiate an EDS chapter, provided there is a minimum of 12 active EDS members volunteering to devote their time for the chapter’s activities and have interest in the EDS field of interest.

Petitions for IEEE Society and Technical Council Chapters and Joint Chapters can be submitted online after the proposed Chapter formation has been agreed to by the Section Chair.  Please contact your Section Chair directly to begin the process. Use the IEEE Geographic Roster to find contact information.

Once the proposal has been accepted by the Section Chair, please visit https://mga.ieee.org/resources-operations/formations-petitions and follow the instructions to submit a petition.
