- IEEE IDENTITY
STANDARDS AND MASTER BRAND
-
- The IEEE Identity Standards, which provide specifications for
use of the
- IEEE Master Brand, are now available on the Web at
- https://www.ieee.org/about/documentation/copyright/IDStandards.pdf.
The IEEE
- Master Brand is the logo ("kite") and the letters I-E-E-E to
the right. By
- adhering to these Standards, the IEEE can enhance the image of
the
- organization and protect ownership of the Master Brand. The
Standards
- include such details as location, color, minimum size and
prominence. Here
- are some highlights:
-
- · Minimum size: 1 1/8 in. (28 mm) wide and 3/8 in.
high (at the top of
- the "kite")
- · The Master Brand must be placed prominently on all
IEEE materials,
- print and electronic.
- · The IEEE Master Brand can be used for IEEE business
only.
-
- The slogan "Networking the World" is no longer in use.
Transition to the
- new Identity Standards has already begun. The new Master Brand
should be
- implemented on any newly designed materials or by 31 December
2001,
- whichever is sooner.
-
- Electronic images of the IEEE Master Brand may be downloaded
from
- https://www.ieee.org/about/documentation/copyright/logos.htm.
For more
- information on the use of the IEEE Master Brand, contact Bill
Hagen,
- mailto:w.hagen@ieee.org
or call +1 732 562 3966.

-
- ARE YOU SIGNING
UP?
-
- Thank you to the many Sections that have submitted signature
cards on their
- local bank accounts to the IEEE Operations Center for
inclusion of the IEEE
- Staff Director of Financial Services, as a signer on the
unit's bank
- account. This is in response to the request to have all
Sections compliant
- with IEEE Policy and Procedures. Please note that compliance
for Sections
- outside the U.S. is subject to local laws and regulations.
Non-U.S. units'
- bank account status will be reviewed individually by staff, in
consultation
- with the local volunteers. Concentration bank accounts are
automatically
- compliant with the signature card requirement.
-
- Signature cards for Section bank accounts will be a
prerequisite in order
- to release the 2002 rebate payments (based on 2001 activity).
The reasons
- are twofold:
-
- 1. To give IEEE the ability to demonstrate to the IRS and its
external
- auditors that it has appropriate financial controls in
place.
- 2. To provide access to IEEE accounts in an emergency
situation where the
- local signers are no longer available.
-
- Please review your bank accounts to ensure that a signature
card is on file
- with the IEEE Operations Center in Piscataway. If not, please
contact your
- bank and send the signature card
- to: David Galicki, IEEE Tax Compliance, 445 Hoes Lane,
Piscataway NJ 08855.
- The card should be signed and mailed back within two weeks of
receipt. For
- more information, contact Dave at mailto:d.galicki@ieee.org.
Your
- cooperation on this important topic is greatly
appreciated.

- IEEE TECHNICAL
SOCIETIES AND COUNCILS LEARN TO USE HOTFOOT
-
- Representatives of 19 technical Societies and Councils
attended the 2001
- Societies WebEd Workshop, held 21-22 April at Alexandria, VA,
USA. Funded
- by the IEEE Foundation, the workshop was designed by the
Educational
- Activities Board Society Education Committee (EAB SEC),
chaired by Saifur
- Rahman.
-
- Lively and collegial, the Societies gave a summary of their
current and
- future plans for educational outreach. Lyle Feisel, EAB VP,
outlined his
- vision of education as a member benefit, and EA staff and
volunteers
- presented information on production support available to the
Societies.
- The workshop included a hands-on session where attendees
learned tips and
- tricks of using Hotfoot software to record and compress
their
- audio-PowerPoint presentations. A complimentary copy of the
software was
- supplied by the EAB SEC.
-
- The attendees agreed to contribute an audio-PowerPoint
tutorial to the IEEE
- Professional Development Institute by 15 September. The top
three
- submissions will win a cash prize for their Societies. The
first prize is
- US$500.
-
- For more information on Educational Activities and the
Workshop, see

- TECHNICAL
SYMPOSIA GRANTS STILL AVAILABLE
-
- Still available! -- limited funding for a pilot program for
Technical
- Symposia grants of up to $500 for the year 2001, as approved
by the IEEE
- Regional Activities Board. The purpose of the program is to
encourage IEEE
- geographic units to provide an opportunity for members to
participate in
- more intensive technical presentations than is possible in a
typical
- meeting, but short of a full-scale conference.
-
- For answers to questions or a list of symposia proposal
guidelines, please
- contact Tracy Hawkins at mailto:t.hawkins@ieee.org.
-
-
-
- THE DISTINGUISHED LECTURER PROGRAM GOES
ELECTRONIC
-
- The Electronic Distinguished Lecturer Program is now available
on the web
- and from a CD-ROM lending library. This pilot program was
designed to help
- Chapters include more technical content in meetings at minimal
expense.
- Each lecture is recorded in Spanish or English and consists of
PowerPoint
- Slides and a 45 minute spoken lecture. The lectures will be
on-line until
- June 2001 at https://www.ieee.org/organizations/tab/dlmain.html.
-
- The three lectures currently available are:
- * "Power Control for Wireless Data" David Goodman -
Communications Society
- * "Restructuring and Its Impact on the Cost and Reliability of
Electrical
- Power Systems" John A. Casazza - Power Engineering
Society
- * "Project Management: High-Impact Techniques for Any Effort"
Cinda Voegtli
- - Engineering Management Society.
-
- Requests are being taken by the CD-ROM Lending library for
cases where
- viewing the on-line lecture is not feasible. A CD-ROM of a
particular
- lecture(s) will be sent, upon request, to any Chapter
Coordinator or
- Chapter Chair. Send inquiries to mailto:electronic-dl@ieee.org.
Please
- indicate Spanish or English, the lecture title, and a mailing
address when
- submitting a request.
-
- Do you want information on the regular Distinguished Lecturer
Program? A
- list of the Societies sponsoring programs will be
automatically returned to
- you when you send an email to: mailto:info.distlec@ieee.org.
