2026 R4 & R6 Joint Opcom

DoubleTree by Hilton Phoenix Mesa, 1011 W Holmes Ave, Mesa, Arizona, United States, 85210

[] Mark your calendars! The Regions 4 and 6 joint operating committee (Opcom) meeting is happening again! We're busy working out the details. This year we're focussing on making it more interactive so that everyone can make the most of being in person. To support this we moved some of the lecture-style presentations to online meetings leading up to the Opcom. These sessions are not just for attendees, but also section, chapter, or affinity group volunteers or those interested in volunteering in IEEE. We have two sessions for each topic to make the training more available to volunteers. IEEE Basics is designed to get new volunteers up and running quickly, connecting you with tools and people to help you succeed. Events is all about bringing people together successfully, be it for lecture, workshop, conferences, outreach, or family events. The vitality sessions are there to help you look at your membership, how they can be served, and how to strengthen your organization's volunteers.
