IEEE Computer Society Board of Governors and Executive Committee

The Board of Governors and Executive Committee oversee the direction and strategy of the IEEE Computer Society.

About the Board of Governors and Executive Committee

IEEE Computer Society relies on a fully elected Board of Governors (BOG) to drive its vision forward, provide policy guidance to program boards and committees, and review the performance of the organization to ensure compliance with its policy directions.

Possibly one of the most rewarding volunteer opportunities available at the society, BOG members first go through a nomination process and thereafter work to gain enough votes from IEEE Computer Society members to win the election. Elections are held every year in the Fall and volunteers are encouraged to get involved early to participate.
