To learn more about Chapters benefits and resources, view the Chapters Learning Webinar. If you have any questions regarding Chapter Resources, please contact Kerry Cosby.
Forming a Chapter & Chapter Funding
- Want to start a chapter? Please visit our Start a Chapter page to learn more.
- Want to file for a reimbursement? Newly created Computer Society chapters can be reimbursed for chapter expenses (when approved by the local chair) up to $150.
Please submit the Chapter-Funds-Request-Form (Excel file) to chapters@computer.org. - Want your chapter to share in membership revenue? Send the IEEE Computer Society the attendee lists from your chapter events, and if the non-members on that list join the Society (with a specified payment code), at the end of the year your chapter will receive 20% of the revenue from that membership.
Submit your attendance sheets to chapters@computer.org or use our Template-for-Chapter-Meeting-Sign-In.docx
More Support for Chapters
- Each Section Chapter should receive a minimum of $200 from their Section. Additional funding is at sections discretion and chapters may need to submit a budget or meet other requirements to receive it.
- The Computer Society will also fund the travel of speakers from our Distinguished Visitor Program to visit both Student and Professional Chapters. This program is by application.
