R ecognizing the diverse expertise and experiences within the IEEE community \, the project aimed to leverage this collective knowledge to enhance the overall IEEE membership experience. Through targeted initiatives and outre ach\, the project sought to not only attract new members but also to deepe n the commitment of existing ones\, ensuring a vibrant and enduring IEEE c ommunity.\n\n- Facilitating Networking and Collaboration\n\nConnectED was envisioned as more than a conventional membership drive\; it was a dynamic initiative aimed at fostering meaningful connections and collaborations a mong volunteers. By organizing engaging activities and dedicated networkin g sessions\, the project provided a space for volunteers to share insights \, best practices\, and experiences. This collaborative environment not on ly enhanced the sense of belonging within the IEEE community but also laid the foundation for future interdisciplinary collaborations\, contributing to the professional growth of the participants.\n\n- Promoting IEEE Aware ness\n\nAn integral part of the ConnectED project was the implementation o f an awareness session. This session was strategically designed to promote a comprehensive understanding of IEEE\, its mission\, and the manifold be nefits associated with IEEE membership. By disseminating information about the organization's goals\, opportunities\, and\n\nglobal impact\, the pro ject aimed to instil a sense of pride and purpose among volunteers. The aw areness session played a pivotal role in aligning the volunteers with IEEE 's vision\, ensuring a more informed and committed community.\n\nIn essenc e\, the ConnectED project was a multifaceted endeavour that went beyond nu merical metrics of membership. It was about building a vibrant\, interconn ected community of IEEE members who not only value their association with the organization but actively contribute to its growth and impact. By stra tegically addressing the objectives of membership enhancement\, fostering collaboration\, and promoting awareness\, ConnectED aimed to leave a lasti ng and positive imprint on the IEEE community at SLTC Research University. \n\nAgenda: \nTime\n\nEvent\n\nSpeaker\n\n10:00-10:05 AM\n\nLighting the O il Lamp\n\nChief guest\n\n10:05-10.10 AM\n\nWelcome Speech\n\nBy the chair man of IEEE\, WIE affinity group of SLTC\n\n10:10-10:20 AM\n\nWIE intro vi deo\n\n10:20-10:25 AM\n\nAnnouncing\n\nModerators\n\n10:25-10.35 AM\n\nSpe ech 1\n\nBy guest 1\n\n10:35-10:40 AM\n\nAnnouncing\n\nModerators\n\n10:40 -10:50 AM\n\nSpeech 2\n\nBy guest 2\n\n10:50-10:55 AM\n\nAnnouncing\n\nMod erators\n\n10:55-11:25 AM\n\nMini Workshop\n\nConducted by the WIE committ ee\n\n11:25-11:30 AM\n\nAnnouncing\n\nModerators\n\n11:30-11:35 AM\n\nToke ns of appreciation for special guests\n\n11:35-11:40 AM\n\nAnnouncing\n\nM oderators\n\n11:40-11:50 AM\n\nMotivational animation video about WIE\n\n1 1:50-11:55 AM\n\nAnnouncing\n\nModerators\n\n11:55-12:10 PM\n\nSpeech 3 (L ive Zoom / Recorded video)\n\nBy guest 3\n\n12:10-12.:15PM\n\nIntroduce/Re minder about QR (WIE Registration)\n\nModerators / Committee\n\n12:15-01:3 5 PM\n\nFun Games\n\nOrganizing Committee\n\n01:35-01:50 PM\n\nAppreciatio n of former leads\n\nWIE vice chairman / Committee member\n\n01:50-02.00PM \n\nThank you\, speech\n\nWIE Secretary\n\nSLTC Research Uniersity\, Meepe \, Padukka\, Sri Lanka\, Sri Lanka LOCATION:SLTC Research Uniersity\, Meepe\, Padukka\, Sri Lanka\, Sri Lanka ORGANIZER:sltcieeewie@gmail.com SEQUENCE:16 SUMMARY:ConnectED URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/387455 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The ConnectED project\, organized by the I EEE WIE (Women in Engineering) Affinity Group of SLTC Research University\ , was conceived with the primary objective of enhancing IEEE membership an d engagement among past\, current\, and future volunteers.</p>\n<p>There w ere main objectives in the ConnectED project.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enhancing IEE E Membership</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The primary objective of the ConnectED projec t was to fortify IEEE membership by creating a unified platform for volunt eers spanning different periods of involvement.
