Organizational Structure (Refer to Bylaws Article 6)

• Director - Sister Societies
• Vice President - Society Relations

Activities

Actions and Objectives

• The Board formulates new professional-society agreements, maintains existing agreements, and renews agreements that will expire. The goal of the Board is to increase the number of agreements outside the U.S. to include the major Electronic Engineering professional societies and their Communications divisions worldwide.
  
  
  
• Approaches to a professional society are normally made through a local Communications Society officer, such as a member of the Board of Governors or a local ComSoc Chapter Chair.

Concerns and Initiatives

• A standard agreement form and a standard side-agreement form have been created and are used as starting points for new agreements and renewals. Where different forms of agreement arise, anomalies and inconsistencies must be identified.
  
  
• Agreements will be publicized within the Society to insure that all commitments that have been entered into will be honored.

How to Make it Happen

• Proposed amendments to agreements as well as agreements under discussion will be forwarded to the President and Vice President - Society Relations for review.
  
  
• Regular contact will be maintained with each professional society.
  
  
• Reciprocal publicity is a key feature in each agreement. Advertisements and articles from (and for) professional societies will normally be handled by the Vice President - Membership Services working with the Director - Magazines, and Headquarters staff.
  
  
• Whenever possible, target dates will be set, and the responsible individual will prepare periodic 'update reports' to the Vice President. As needed, progress will be reported at BoG or OpCom meetings. (Reports will be submitted to the Vice President prior to these
