At its 20 June 2015 meeting, the IEEE Member and Geographic Activities (MGA) Board approved adding the rebate schedule to Section 9.0.E of the MGA Operations Manual. Including the rebate schedule in the MGA Operations Manual will ensure members and volunteers have direct access to the official MGA approved rebate definition, eligibility requirements, and schedule. The rebate schedule has also been streamlined to remove repetitive information and clarify areas such as activity bonus for affinity groups and rebates for members in geographic units outside of Sections. It also reinforces the use of both MGA electronic reporting tools and designated financial accounting software. The rebate algorithm and calculation remain unchanged. Please note the new reporting deadline. In June, the MGA Board also approved a motion to move the geographic unit close/end date for prior year financial reporting to 15 March. This information will be further communicated with all Sections over the next few months.
