Volunteer Resources
IEEE Volunteer Expense Reimbursement System (Concur)—see details
As part of an effort to carve out a well-deserved space in the IEEE digital presence for volunteers, each major Board will have a space devoted to them, with cross-linkages to other volunteer-only content across the organization. Find the content you need to access for your work as an IEEE volunteer. This includes meetings, agendas, resources, and other crucial information related to your role.
Benefits include:
- Flexibility to pilot new ideas, innovate, personalize, and evolve the volunteer web presence
- A robust search to find and access content across each Board, crawling all volunteer content
- Removal of clutter and unrelated content, creating a dedicated space for volunteers
- Role-based access to shared resources across several Boards, centralizing volunteer resources in a one-stop-shop
General resources that pertain to most IEEE volunteer roles, as well as links to other resource collections, are on this page.
