As a reminder for continuing chapter chairs and for incoming chapter chairs for 2021, we would like to highlight a valuable resource available to you. Launched in 2018, IEEE OU Analytics, is a web-based business intelligence tool which delivers essential metrics on memberships or subscriptions to OUs, including Societies, Councils, Technical Communities, etc. 

All members who did not renew for 2021 by 31 December have a two-month grace period in which to renew without losing access to their benefits.  On 27 February that grade period ends, and any member who has not yet renewed will have their benefits and services deactivated. 

A reminder that chapter events and officer reporting need to be updated in vTools <http://vtools.ieee.org> throughout the year. This will ensure that current data is on file and that your chapter activity is accurately recorded. 

US$200 for each Chapter and Affinity Group meeting minimum requirements in accordance with the following sections of the MGA Operations Manual.

This page contains the 2021 Rebate Schedule (section 9.0.E of the MGA Operations Manual). Additional information can be found on the Required Reporting web page and in the MGA Operations Manual.

A reminder that chapter events and officer reporting need to be updated in vTools <http://vtools.ieee.org> throughout the year.  This will ensure that current data is on file and that your chapter activity is accurately recorded.  All units are encouraged to try to hold at least virtual meetings, if possible, to show that the unit is active.

The OU Analytics dashboards provide an intuitive interface to present data using tables and charts with the capability to customize using filtering options by OU, Region, Section, Grade, Gender, etc.  Counts provided can further link to the respective member contact details.
