Volunteers Needed for IEEE Canada Humanitarian Initiatives Committe

Join our committee! The IEEE Canada Humanitarian Initiatives Committee (HIC). We are looking for new members to join in providing IEEE members in Canada the means to participate in Humanitarian Initiatives. Our focus is in increasing the proficiency of sections in taking-on humanitarian initiatives through the active participation of their members. This can be done by supporting their participation in global efforts (e.g SIGHT, GHTC, ISV) or local activities and projects.

To volunteer, contact Alfredo Herrera alfredo.herrera@ieee.org. We will be hosting information sessions over the web to all showing interest.
