The work of restructuring IEEE’s geographic areas is properly underway. Six U.S. areas will probably be consolidated into 5, becoming a member of collectively the present IEEE Area 1 (Northeastern U.S.) and Area 2 (Jap U.S.) to kind Area 2 (Jap and Northeastern U.S.). IEEE Area 10 (Asia and Pacific) will probably be cut up into two to kind Area 10 (North Asia) and Area 11 (South Asia and Pacific).
The restructuring of IEEE’s 10 geographic areas will present a extra equitable illustration throughout its international membership, as outlined in The Institute’s February 2023 article, “IEEE is Realigning Its Geographic Areas.”
The realignment will influence this yr’s annual IEEE election course of, which runs by way of 1 October.
On this yr’s IEEE annual election, eligible voting members residing in Area 2 will probably be electing the IEEE Area 2 director-elect for the 2025—2026 time period (serving as director in 2027—2028). The elected officer will first function director of the present Area 2 in 2027, after which in 2028 as director of the brand new Area 2.
The eligible voting members residing in Area 10 will probably be electing the IEEE Area 10 director-elect for the time period 2025—2026 (serving as Director in 2027—2028). The elected officer will first function director of the present Area 10 in 2027 after which in 2028 as Director of the brand new Area 10 .
IEEE Member and Geographic Actions is continuous to coordinate the transition in tandem with the opposite IEEE organizational items in preparation for the realignment, which takes impact in January 2028.
