Per vTools request, IEEE now records more positions for Chapter and Affinity Group officers: Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer. Sections can also report a vTools Coordinator position. New officers can be reported online:– http://www.ieee.org/societies_communities/geo_activities/req

– Takes a few business days for a change to be reflected. – vTools team has a project on its slate for automating officer
reporting, to speed up the process.
