IEEE Carleton Executive, Branch Counselor, and Constitution

The Officers of the branch are Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer and Secretary. Their roles are described in the constitution as well as the new executive defined executive roles. The Branch Counselor provides support in everything the branch decides to pursue, by providing ideas, advice, and contacts. He also ensures that the branch is administered in accordance with IEEE regulations.

Other members of the executive are either elected or appointed by the current exec to help spread out the work involved in running the IEEE Office as well as organizing events.

To see your current executive and branch counselor, please visit Exec Bios.

To ensure that each consecutive executive team maintains or improves the quality of services to their members as well as membership numbers, IEEE Carleton adopted its constitution in March 2002.

IEEE Carleton's Sister Branch

IEEE Carleton and IEEE Student Branch de Passau in Germany initiated a sistership in 2001 after some of the executives met at a student branch conference in Mexico. Since then, some members of IEEE de Passau have visited Canada for SPAV 2002, a conference organized by IEEE Carleton. Hopefully, the relationship will develop further and more joint activities will be undertaken in the future.
