IEEE 125th Anniversary Celebration – Today's Engineering Workplace and How IEEE Can Help
 

In honor of IEEE's 125th Anniversary a special dinner and presentation are being held at Strongbow Inn in Valparaiso to commemorate 125 years of IEEE. Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear from several key leaders in the IEEE as they discuss the most pressing issues facing Engineers and Engineering today. Topics will include IEEE history as well as how IEEE can help you advance yourself in the workplace. Compare what you want in your work life to what others say is important, Learn about two truly transferable skills, identify the payoffs from work most important to you, recognize key elements of success and fulfillment, confirm your personal career orientation, see which engineering specialties are predicted to grow most in the near future, and hear how IEEE supports engineering careers.
 

For more detailed information on the meeting see the January Dinner Meeting.
 

Meeting Attendance

When you make a reservation for a dinner meeting please make every attempt at attending the meeting or canceling at least 24 hours ahead of time. If you do not cancel in time and are a no show, the Calumet Section still has to pay for your plate. For this reason we will be instituting and enforcing a policy of billing no shows for the dinner cost. IEEE and ISPE are both volunteer organizations and as volunteer organizations losing money at dinner meetings due to no shows is not budgeted. We appreciate your responsibility in observing this new meeting policy.

Volunteers Needed

The Calumet Section is always looking for volunteers. New people bring a new viewpoint to the Board. Fresh ideas are always a good thing. The Board has a few committee positions available along with the position of Secretary.

A position on the Board of Directors is a rewarding experience. The average Board Member only spends a few hours a month doing IEEE activities. There are only 2-3 Board Meetings a year.

Other Positions that are available are Membership Chairman, Engineer’s Week Chairman, and Professional Activities Chairman.

Other than the Officer positions we are always looking for people who would be willing to volunteer as a member of a committee. Committees such as Engineer’s Week depends on numerous volunteers.

Please do not assume everything is done and your help is not needed. Volunteer today!
