A Worldwide Regional Structure
IEEE US Regional Structure
• Each Region has a Regional Director, Regional Officers, and Committees
• Regions may be broken into Areas and/or Councils
IEEE Area/Council Structure
• Each Area or Council may have a Chair, other Officers, and Committees
• Areas have one or more Sections and are owned by their Region
• Councils have several Sections and are owned by those Sections
Southwest Area of Region 6
IEEE Section Structure
•Each Section has a Chair, other Officers and Committees
•Sections may have one or more:
•Subsections
•Technical Society Chapters
•Student Branches
•Affinity Groups
Southwest Area of Region 6
San Diego Section of Southwest Area of
Region 6
IEEE Student Branch Structure
• Each Student Branch has a Branch Counselor (faculty advisor), a Chair, a set of Officers, and possibly Mentors
• Student Branches may have one or more Technical Chapters which are called Student Branch Chapters and belong to the Branch
Southwest Area of Region 6
Univ. of California at San Diego IEEE Student Branch
IEEE Affinity Groups
• Affinity Groups are non-technical “chapters” belonging to a section.
• Currently approved affinity groups are:
-Life Members
-Women In Engineering
-Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD)
-Consultants Networks (AICN)
IEEE Division Structure IEEE’s Technical Activities
are divided into 10 Technical Divisions
Each Division has a Division Director and a Division PACE Coordinator
Each Division is made up of one or more Societies
Unlike Regions, Divisions do not have Committees, nor do they receive dues allocations.
Division I - Circuits and Devices
Division II - Industrial Applications
Division III - Communications Technology
Division IV - Electromagnetics and Radiation
Division V - Computer
Division VI - Engineering and Human Society
Division VII - Energy and Power Engineering
Division VIII - Computer
Division IX - Signals and Applications
Division X - Systems and Control

What is PACE? (Professional Activities Committees for Engineers)
A network of IEEE volunteers and committees organized at the section and chapter levels with support from Regions and IEEE-USA.
PACE promotes: The professional interests of the U.S. members
The professional activities within sections of the region and student branches.
A mechanism for communication of members' views on their professional needs.
