3. Section Ideas Required It is the responsibility of the Section and Council chairs of IEEE Region 10 – to get to know, and to work cooperatively with the National Societies of their Country.

4. Section Ideas required One excellent way to enhance the IEEE Public Visibility in IEEE Region 10 – and in all of the countries outside of North America – is by working cooperatively With National Societies using NSAs (National Society Agreements) as a starting point

Section Ideas required Some examples of IEEE Sections and Councils working together successfully with outside organizations include – The IEEE Italian Section has worked with AEIT for publishing a limited number of Spectrum articles per year. They also have organized a Joint Award for young researchers

10. Section Ideas required The IEEE Chile Section has initiated a Joint Award with AIE – an industry association with 40 member companies The IEEE Singapore Section has worked with local universities in Pre - College education – to develop and run a Computer Camp for young people – approximate ages 12 – 15 years

11. Section Ideas Required In each case – the Energy, Enthusiasm, Spirit – And Public Visibility – of each IEEE Section involved was greatly enhanced. These are just a few of many Successes!!! TRY IT!!! – YOU MIGHT LIKE IT!!!

12. -and the creation of joint cooperative activities The IEEE Section is the key to the success of IEEE- National Society cooperation
