Introducing Local Groups!

Local Groups are a new IEEE concept. They are a low overhead, agile, and efficient way for a Section (or a Region, if there is no Section in the area) to serve the interests of members and potential members in the area. Local Groups can be organized around any area of interest to IEEE, especially including interdisciplinary areas, but cannot operate in competition with any other IEEE unit. They are organized with the agreement of a Section and if no longer viable may be dissolved by the Section. People who are not IEEE members may belong to a Local Group.
