DESCRIPTION:A Consultants Committee Virtual Meeting\n\nIn early 2022\, the 
 [IEEE-USA Consultants Committee](https://ieeeusa.org/committees/aicncc/) p
 olled local consultant network chairs to find out the status of their loca
 l groups. What we learned is that many local networks were having trouble 
 restarting activities after having such a long layoff from in-person meeti
 ngs. We also learned that many chairs have questions about activities of t
 he IEEE-USA Consultants Committee.\n\nOn January 25 at 12:00pm-1:00pm EST\
 , the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee is again sponsoring a virtual worksho
 p for local consultant network chairs. We have asked Dr. Johannes Schaefer
 \, Senior Manager with IEEE Strategic Research and author of the [2023 IEE
 E-USA Consultants Fee Survey Report](https://ieeeusa.org/product/ieee-usa-
 consultants-fee-survey-report-2023-edition/) to give a presentation on key
  findings from the report. Dr. Schaefer will be joined by members of IEEE-
 USA Consultants Committee to add their commentary about the impact on inde
 pendent consultants from findings of the survey. The committee also wants 
 this workshop to be an interactive discussion with network chairs regardin
 g the report.\n\nAfter the presentation\, there will be a Q/A with members
  of the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. IEEE-USA Consultants Committee mem
 bers want to address any questions about the committee's activities that l
 ocal chairs may have. The speaker will address any additional questions ch
 airs may have regarding the presentation.\n\nSo\, we invite all Chairs\, V
 ice Chairs and other network officers\, as well as potential future Board 
 members\, to attend this online event.\n\nThis meeting will be recorded to
  be used as an on Demand resource.\n\nSpeaker(s): Johannes Schaefer\, \n\n
