Do you know the changes to the Geographic Unit Formation Petition Process? At its 19 November 2011 meeting, the IEEE Member and Geographic Activities Board approved a motion to revise the geographic unit formation petition process for Sections, Subsections, Chapters, and Affinity Groups, effective 1 January 2012. The revisions were developed as a result of an audit of the current process that identified opportunities for more stringent risk management and compliance control.
