New 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.

Compliance Training for Volunteer Leadership

It is important that those who act on behalf of IEEE, both volunteers and staff, are aware of IEEE's legal obligations and requirements under applicable law. Updated compliance learning has been designed to help you understand those requirements and provide you with the information you need to act in IEEE's best interest and be compliant with legal obligations. This compliance learning is required for certain volunteer leadership positions.

To provide you with information on this improved compliance learning, the IEEE Legal & Compliance team has developed the below information which will help to explain why it is necessary, who is required to take it, and how you can access the IEEE Volunteer Compliance Training Site.
