Purpose

SMC Chapters, the local branch of the SMC Society, consist of members from the SMC Society who share geographical proximity. SMC Chapters may include members from other IEEE Societies sharing the technical interests of the SMC Society. In this case, they are called joint chapters. Chapters provide members with valuable opportunities to network at a local level enabling their personal and professional growth. The purpose of the SMC chapters are to conduct events such as meetings, workshops, seminars and conferences within the fields of interest of the SMC Society as well as social functions. A complete list of the SMC Chapters can be found below.

How to create a new SMC Chapter

12 or more higher-grade SMC members within a Section are eligible to form a new SMC Chapter. If an SMC Chapter already exists in the Section, a new SMC Chapter may be formed if membership in that area is greater than one chapter can accommodate.

To form a new SMC Chapter, the organizer will need:

  • 12 SMC members to sign the New Chapter petition (Word or Html)
  • Approval of the Petition by your local Section Executive Committee
  • Approval from your Regional Activities Board which is granted if the SMC Society President and your Regional Director have no objections.

Here is a complete guide to create a new IEEE chapter.

A subsidy of $500 is available from the SMC Society to assist in the formation of a SMC chapter.
