WIE Mission

The mission of WIE is to inspire, engage, encourage, and empower IEEE women worldwide.

WIE Vision

IEEE WIE envisions a vibrant community of IEEE women and men innovating the world of tomorrow. IEEE WIE strives to:

  • recognize women’s outstanding achievements in electrical and electronics engineering through IEEE Awards nominations
  • organize receptions at major technical conferences to enhance networking and to promote membership in WIE
  • advocate women in leadership roles in IEEE governance and career advancement for women in the profession
  • provide assistance with the formation of new WIE Affinity Groups and support ongoing activities
  • promote IEEE member grade advancement for women to the membership grades of Senior Member and Fellow
  • facilitate the development of programs and activities that promote the entry into and retention of women in engineering programs
  • administer the IEEE Student-Teacher and Research Engineer/Scientist (STAR) Program to mentor young women in junior and high schools

IEEE Region 1 Activity Support for PACE, WIE, YP, and EDU events.

 

These funds can also be used to provide travel support to attend meetings.  However, the maximum support ($750) must also be matched by Section funds.   If the travel requires less than $1,500 of total support the region will only cover 50%.  In order to qualify for travel support the Section must have carried out at least 3 reported events for the Affinity group.  A Section may apply for either travel support or activity support (not both) for a specific Affinity group.
