Your Section is eligible for funding via rebates from the IEEE, Inc. based on Section membership. These funds may contribute to your annual budget provided by the Section. This is similar to the usual funding mechanism for IEEE Chapters except that for the Section to receive the rebate, the RIG meeting must be held either under the Section's auspices as a whole or under the sponsorship of one of the NNC participating Societies.
The size of the budget provided to each RIG is open to negotiation between the RIG and its Section.
Use the IEEE L-31 forms to report your meeting summary to your Section so they can pass it along to IEEE, Inc. A RIG sign-in sheet is also necessary to validate the IEEE attendance at each meeting.
IEEE Bylaw 406.6 notes that each Section shall have control of all of the assets of each of its respective Chapters. This also applies to Neural Network Council Regional Interest Groups. An annual accounting of income and disbursements will be required both by your Section and the Neural Networks Council.
