2020 Volunteer Leadership Training (VoLT) Program Call for Participation

The MGA Training Committee is pleased to announce the launch of the 2020 Volunteer Leadership Training (VoLT) Program. The VoLT Program invites volunteers who have a desire to continue growing as IEEE volunteers and lead their local units to complete the program's prerequisite courses and apply for the program when the application opens in June.
 
To date, over 300 volunteers representing all ten IEEE Regions, and over 100 Sections, have graduated from the VoLT Program. As a testament to its success, graduates are taking positions of leadership with their local operational units and at the Region level.
 
To be considered for the program, candidates are required to complete the eight prerequisite courses that cover the core organizational units of IEEE and provide foundational knowledge of the organization. Log into the IEEE Center for Leadership Excellence (CLE)  to access the courses. For complete application requirements, see our Application Checklist .
 
The application for the 2020 class will open 1 June 2020, with a 17 July 2020 application deadline. Candidates will be notified of their application status in August 2020. 
 

Learn more about prerequisite courses and other requirements, application process, and key dates.
