The IEEE MOVE (Mobile Outreach utilizing volunteer engagemen t) Program started that way. That seed just celebrated its 8th anniversary of providing service to the community and is expanding internationally. M OVE volunteers support disaster relief agencies committed to assisting vic tims of natural disasters\, such as hurricanes\, forest fires\, and floodi ng. MOVE brings assistance in terms of short-term communications\, and pow er solutions\, allowing those affected by these natural disasters to stay connected.\n\nWhen not deployed for natural disasters\, MOVE volunteers co nduct community outreach and facilitate learning opportunities for student s and the general public in the areas o Science\, Technology\, Engineering \, and Math (STEM).\n\nLearn the key steps in developing such a program an d MOVE with purpose.\n\n3 key takeaways from this presentation\n\n1) How t o bring a vague idea to a fully developed international program.\n\n2) How to build team engagement and enthusiasm.\n\n3) How to develop relationshi ps outside your immediate community.\n\n[]\n\nMary Ellen Randall is an IEE E Fellow\, member of the IEEE-Eta Kappa Nu honor society and a Distinguish ed Lecturer for the IEEE Technology Engineering Management Society.\n\nMs. Randall is founder/CEO of Ascot Technologies\, Inc.\, an award-winning co mpany which develops enterprise applications using mobile data delivery te chnologies.\n\nShe held technical and management positions in IBM\, includ ing an international assignment\, hardware and software development\, digi tal video chips\, client/server services\, network management\, operating systems\, and test design automation.
