The IEEE Member and Geographic Activities Board approved a motion that limits the number of years any one individual may serve in any one geographic unit officer position.

To fulfill its role, the IEEE Foundation awards grants to new and innovative projects and administers more than 130 funds that support a variety of educational, humanitarian, historical preservation, and peer recognition programs of IEEE units.
