  29. You cannot, and are not, expected to do this alone • Your Section Organization must be built to allow you to delegate many of these tasks • Your Section must resemble the Regional structure • Chairs and Vice Chairs • Secretary and Treasurer • Society Chapter Chairs • Affinity Group Chairs • Programs Coordinator or Programs Chair • Student Activities Coordinator and Student Activates Rep • Newsletter, Webmaster, Awards, Nomination and Appointment In the end, your organizational structure should be designed to allow you to fulfill your organizational mission

  34. Administratively, YOU are running an Operating Unit • As such, you must think both long term and short term • Mission, Values, Vision and Strategy • Yearly Operational Plan • Programs/Activities/Initiatives • Budget and a detailed plan for Expenditures • You must also establish a drumbeat for assessing status and correcting if things go out of plan

  36. Additional Requirements • YOU as well as various other officers within your organization must take required training • Ethics • Compliance • YOU and other officers must sign appropriate Conflict of Interest forms More to come in Treasurer and Secretary Session

  37. Tools Variety of tools available

  38. What is available for you to do your job • SAMIEEE - web enabled tool that allows ad-hoc querying, reporting, and downloading of IEEE membership data. Access to this system is limited to registered users with designated or automatic access. • vTools - simplifies administration by offering web based software, reduces time spent managing activities, and assists in member development. • IEEE e-Notice - electronic newsletter subscription service that has been developed for IEEE organizational units to facilitate email distribution of newsletters, meeting notices, and IEEE conference materials. • Section Vitality Dashboard - monitoring tool for use by section leaders that provides a real time, top-down status view of their section vitality metrics and key activities. • IEEE Center for Leadership Excellence Training for Geographic Unit Leaders – Web based training for everything you need to know about your leadership position within your geographic unit.

  39. Programs Organizing, structuring, running and reporting activities

  40. Programs are a direct way YOU deliver Value to your Membership • There is a vast array of Activities/Programs your Section can undertake • Small/Medium/Big • Technical/Professional/Social/Educational • Face to face/web-based • Section/Affinity Group/Chapter/Student Branch/Joint • Initiated/conducted • Tailored and suited for your Section • The most successful Sections plan a repertoire of all of the above • First and Foremost, understand your Section’s needs and wants! • Secondly, understand what your Section can undertake, staff, and deliver • Volunteer staffing • Financial implication • Risk • Thirdly, if uncertain, seek help from above – Region, MGA, Societies, and IEEE Staff are all here to help.

  41. Section Program Essentials • Bad News/Good News • Section Program Types • Running Your Program: Volunteers! • Advertising Your Program • Reporting Your Programs & Activities • Funding Programs, Approvals and RISK • THE Section Program Essential…

  42. Bad News/Good News • Calendar Year The ‘bad news’ is that your term of office starts January 1 and you were elected - at best - the November before but your members want activities immediately! • Academic Year The GOOD NEWS! is that your section and previous chair probably have activities planned for the next few months <grin>. BUT… DON’T RELAX there’s plenty to plan for through the rest of the year!

  43. Section Program Types - 1 • Section Meetings (ExCom and General) • Section Annual Awards Dinner/Banquet • Chapter Meetings • Chapter Technical Programs, Seminars and Workshops • Society Conferences in your Section • IEEE-USA/Professional Activities Meetings • PACE Programs and Meetings • Student Professional Awareness Conference/Experience • Career/Government Activities

  44. Section Program Types - 2 • Affiliate Group Meetings • WIE, YP, Consultants Network, LM, etc. Programs • Other Local Meetings • World Maker Faire (22-23 September, Hall of Science Queens, NY) • First Robotics, and other STEM Programs • Region/Area/Other Meetings • Region 1 Student Conference (23-25 March, NYIT) • IEEE-USA Future Leaders Forum (26-28 July, Austin TX)

  45. Running Your Program: Volunteers! • Section, Chapter, or Group Selects a ‘Champion’ • Determine if Program is CEU-eligible • Think Micro-Volunteering… Break the tasks into small pieces: speaker selection, registration, PR, CEUs, facilities management, etc.

  46. Advertising Your Program • As soon as your section approves the budget for a program you should begin to advertise it! • Use vTools! for registration • Send PR to your Section eNotice and Web Master • Send PR to R1 Webmaster (greg.gdowski@gmail.com) • Rule of Thumb: Three (3) emails or newsletters or announcements are needed before folks get the message!

  47. Funding Programs & Approvals Needed • Funding Programs for Members The Section budget typically covers the cost of refreshments at Chapter and Affinity Group programs for members… PACE Programs can obtain up to $500 in matching funds • Approval Requirements Some programs require more funds than the Section can afford to make available. They require a Section ExCom passed budget. If a conference or mini-conference, they require IEEE registration (ICX form) and if contracts for space, catering, etc., exceed $5000 will require IEEE Staff review and approvals at the REGION Level.

  48. Program Fees, Vendors, Donors/Patrons • Program Fees Whenever a Conference or Workshop, etc., budget is more than a few hundred dollars there are typically registration charges. To calculate what these charges should be to generate at least a 20% surplus for other Section activities, first divide the expenses budget by the number of anticipated paying attendees = BASE cost. Student/Life MEMBERS: 10% over BASE IEEE Members (and Student non-members): 25% over BASE Non-Members: 25% over Member fee (or 50% over BASE) • Vendors and Donors/Patrons Vendors typically pay $250-500 per table top space Donors/Patrons provide funding for breaks, lunches, etc.

  49. Program RISK • RISK… In business we recognize that without risk there is typically no reward. IEEE is a Not-For-Profit 501(c)3 organization, but we are also Not-For-Loss <grin>. Every program that requires donor or registration fees to cover expenses presents a risk to IEEE. Any contract signed by volunteers on behalf of IEEE has a level of risk if the event is cancelled or if insufficient rooms or food and beverages are sold. Typically penalty terms are in the event contracts. PLEASE request that the Region 1 Conferences Coordinator review any contracts BEFORE anyone signs them as they may require special handling or approvals.

  50. Reporting Your Section Programs vToolshelps pre-fill the L-31 Meeting Form as well as provides a means for Free or Fee program registration • Report ALL your programs and activities to: Your Section ExCom Your Section Members Your Area Chair Region Committee(s) that oversee the particular activity
