IEEE DEIS
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
DIELECTRICS AND ELECTRICAL INSULATION SOCIETY




2008 September

Chapters Committee

Dr. Noriyuki Shimizu (Chair)
Dr. John Densley
Dr. Stanislaw Gubanski

 

Objectives of DEIS Chapter Committee

The Chapters Committee shall support and encourage the chapter activities, thereby providing DEIS members with valuable opportunities to network at a local level. This may be accomplished through guest speakers, workshops and seminars as well as social functions, thus enabling the personal and professional growth of the members.

 

Chapter Fund - financial support for chapter activity.

IEEE DEIS has a Chapter Fund program that financially supports C hapter activities such as lecture programs, workshops or seminars as well as social functions.

 

The IEEE Distinguished Lecturer Program.

In the Distinguished Lecturer Program, the society has a list of speakers who are prepared to visit a chapter and deliver a lecture on a given topic.
