Description
Mary Ward-Callan with IEEE talks about how to manage and provide content and networking opportunities for an association whose 420,000 members span over 160 countries. IEEE was initially a US based association, but now only 40% is from the US. Mary talked about creating community through global, but also local engagement through 1500 chapters world-wide. IEEE councils offer technical specialization communities on both global and local levels. One challenge is to coordinate literally a thousand educational and membership opportunities and meetings in different time zones across the planet. Ensuring appropriate cultural and social programming is also critical to the success of the organization in meeting its mission of technological advance for the betterment of humanity.
