AGENDA Region 1 Public Visibility

IEEE Public Visibility The IEEE Public Visibility initiative, a Board of Directors-endorsed, multi-year, multi-million-dollar project, is a communications initiative that seeks to increase IEEE's visibility and create a global voice for the engineering profession. The program is designed to: Increase the public's understanding of how engineering, computing, and technology benefit humanity Establish the pride and prestige of the profession Position IEEE as the world's trusted source and forum Hi Charlotte, Thanks for reaching out and sharing your information. Due to the mission and scope of the Public Visibility Committee, we unfortunately cannot hold local events - our event activities focus on larger industry events. Below is the link to an IEEE toolkit designed to help in planning and promotion of local events. If you would like to discuss in more detail, please let me know. I should have some time with in the next couple of weeks. Many thanks!
