WIE AFFINITY GROUPS AND WIE STUDENT AFFINITY GROUPS WORLDWIDE
BY KEYANA TENNANT
The number of IEEE WIE Affinity Groups and Student Branch Affinity Groups continue to
grow to over 186 worldwide. There are two types of WIE Affinity Groups: IEEE Section
Affinity Groups and Student Branch Affinity Groups. IEEE Region 10 has the fastest growth
with 52 WIE Groups and several pending formation. IEEE Region 8 and 9 has also grown
tremendously within the last several years.
Affinity groups provide the opportunity for members to network at a local level. Activities may include networking opportunities, guest speakers, workshops, and seminars. All
WIE members are encouraged to join and participate in their local group activities, to promote growth within IEEE and IEEE WIE.
For more information and/or if you are interested in forming a group, contact
women@ieee.org.
WIE would like to congratulate and acknowledge all WIE Affinity Groups and Student
Branch Affinity Groups worldwide for their dedication and commitment to WIE. Keep up
the great work!*
* WIE Affinity Groups listed below were formed by March 2008.
