The VoLT Program prepares IEEE volunteers for leadership roles in their local units and beyond. The program’s key goals are to: * Accelerate volunteer’s knowledge of the IEEE’s organization, products, services, and resources * Help volunteers understand their roles within their local units and within the entire organization * Create a succession tool that develops and prepares future IEEE

volunteer leaders

Since the program’s launch in 2013, over 350 volunteers graduated from the program. Our VoLT graduates represent all 10 IEEE Regions and

over 100 Sections.

The volunteers who graduated from the program took the time to undergo the training, knowing the commitment involved. We hope the result will be a more energized, well-informed, and engaged volunteer for your Section and Region. In the coming days, announcements of the 2021 VoLT Program will be made through enotice, MGA Scoop, social media, and other channels, inviting eligible candidates to apply for the program. Applications will be accepted from 1 JUNE 2021 THROUGH 21 JULY 2021. Applicants will be notified of their application status mid-to

late-August.

We kindly ask you to share the news with your fellow IEEE members and volunteers and encourage those who may be interested to learn more about the program and apply this year. More information about the VoLT Program, including APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS, can be found in the IEEE Center for Leadership

Excellence (CLE)

https://ieee-elearning.org/CLE/static/mga_voltprogram.html (you may be prompted to log in to the CLE with your IEEE account).

ABOUT R8

Welcome to Region 8 (Europe, Middle East and Africa) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) The IEEE is the world’s largest technical professional society, and comprises more than 360,000 members who conduct and participate in its activities in 150 countries. Founded in 1884, the IEEE is a non-profit organisation, and through its members is a catalyst for technological innovation. We are a leading authority in a broad range of areas such as computer engineering, electric power, aerospace and consumer electronics, biomedical technology, and telecommunications, naming only a few. We publish 30 percent of the world’s literature in electrical engineering, computers and control technology, and hold more than 300 major conferences and 6,000 local meetings annually. Recognized as essential guides for every industry, more than 800 active IEEE standards are in use today with 700 currently in development. Please use the links at the left to navigate this website, and find out more about the Region and its activities. Region 8 covers covers Europe, Middle East and Africa, as shown in the

map below.

REGION 8 VISION

Region 8 is an effectively organized, dynamic and influential entity, recognized as a leading and esteemed part of a truly transnational IEEE, with IEEE benefits equally available to all members

REGION 8 MISSION

To serve the needs of the members of the Institute, the profession and society at large, by enhancing and supporting the IEEE’s Organizational Units and their activities within Region 8 ------------------------- HISTORY OF IEEE REGION 8 For a first introduction to the history of IEEE Region 8, your are advised to consult the following sources. Do not forget to check on a regular basis the History Activities that are currently going on in Region 8. REGION 8 HISTORY BOOK * The book _A short history of IRE Region 9 / IEEE Region 8_

(.pdf) presents a

history of IEEE Region 8 spanning its origins from the IRE Region in Europe, through the IRE/AIEE merger forming the IEEE and subsequently to the present day Region 8 consisting of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Included are personal reflections of past directors, committee meetings and conferences, student activities, award recipients from Region 8, and Region 8 history papers presented at HISTELCON 2012. A number of archival documents are attached as appendices, including ephemera and minutes from early Region 8 Committee meetings. NOTE THAT IF YOU CLICK ON THE LINK ABOVE AND OPEN THE DOCUMENT OUTLINE IN THE LEFT-HAND SIDE BAR, YOU CAN IMMEDIATELY JUMP TO ANY SECTION OF THE BOOK AND EASILY NAVIGATE THROUGH IT. * The early history of our Region is adequately described by its initiator (Bruce B. Barrow) in the article _The Benelux Section and Early IRE/IEEE Activity in Europe_ (.pdf) by Jan Biemond and Bruce B. Barrow, presented at the 2009 IEEE Conference on the History of Technical Societies, Philadelphia, PA, 5–7 August 2009; the article is available in IEEEXplore . The important parts are section III _IRE Region in Europe_, section IV _IRE/AIEE Merger_, and the appendix _Why in the World in Europe?_ See also SECTIONS 1.2 and 1.5 in the book. You may also want to read the article by Robert C. Winton, _The start of Region 8 and its Sections_ (see SECTION 1.4 of the book), which is taken from the Region 8 Centennial Review (.pdf), published on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of IEEE,

1984.

* SECTIONS 2.1-3 describe the later history of Region 8 (.pdf): 2.1 _The creation of IEEE Region 10 and the extension of Region 8_, 2.2 _The Eastward spread of Sections in Region 8_, prepared by Tony Davies, and 2.3 _Yugoslavia Section from 1971 to 1992_, prepared by Baldomir Zajc. * The book contains FOUR HISTORY PAPERS PRESENTED AT HISTELCON 2012 in Pavia, Italy, 5–7 September 2012. Note that the papers by Jean D. Lebel and Jacob Baal-Schem as they appear in IEEEXplore are NOT the final versions that have been submitted to the conference organizers; the two papers that are included in the book are the actual final

versions.

ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY HISTORY WIKI * The Engineering and Technology History Wiki (ETHW) is a wiki-based platform that allows IEEE members and Organizational Units to collaboratively preserve and share their history (including, for instance, the HISTORY OF INDIVIDUAL IEEE SECTIONS). ETHW hosts the MILESTONES, ORAL HISTORIES, and Archives programs, and also allows IEEE members to contribute to Wikipedia-style topic articles or to preserve their own first-hand

histories.
