Services Provided by the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee: A Presentation for Local Consultant Network Chairs
A Consultants Committee Virtual Meeting
A few years ago the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee polled local consultants network chairs to find out the status of their local consultants network. What the Consultants Committee learned is that many local consultants networks are having trouble organizing in-person meetings. We also learned that many chairs have questions about activities of the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee.
On January 30 at 12:00pm-1:00pm EST, the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee is again sponsoring a virtual workshop for local consultant network chairs. We have asked senior committee members William Kassebaum and Larry Nelson to give a presentation on key activities and services of IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. In addition, these committee members will add their commentary about what independent consultants should expect in 2025.
After the presentation, there will be a Q/A with members of the IEEE-USA Consultants Committee. IEEE-USA Consultants Committee members want to address any questions about the committee's activities that local chairs may have. The speakers will address any additional questions chairs may have regarding the presentation.
So, we invite all Chairs, Vice Chairs and other network officers, as well as potential future Board members, to register and attend this online event.
This meeting will be recorded to be used as an on Demand resource.
