 Web Master
IEEE Hyderabad Section has 6 IEEE Fellows and more than 100 Senior
Members.
IEEE Hyderabad Section conducts monthly (frequent) meetings to oversee
various activities.
The section maintains its own website (http://www.ieeehyd.org)
announcing its activities and seeking inputs from members.
Mailing lists are set-up to reach members with the programs conducted and
membership drive as needed.
Active Students Members (Volunteers) are invited to SEC meetings thus
enthusing importance of professional activities and IEEE.
IEEE Hyderabad Section works closely with other professional bodies
such as IE (I), IETE, CSI.
IEEE Hyderabad Section supports CSI’s Lean Six Sigma programs. A
good discount for IEEE members has been worked out.
Section conducts national level Project Contest for undergraduate,
graduate students annually.
Section organizes Faraday Memorial Lecture (FML) annually by eminent
speakers.
The Section has established a process of collecting feedback and
recommendations to follow. Section feedback is used to identify member
interests, program ratings, plan future programs, identify volunteers, and
follow up with potential non-members to turn them into members.
Measurement of feedback: on an average all the programs "met
expectations" or "exceeded expectations"

IEEE Hyderabad Section has been actively participating in IEEE Exhibits
@ BM Birla Science Centre, group of interactive exhibits in science and
engineering created by the IEEE for pre-college students, and presented in
partnership with BM Birla Science Centre.
IEEE President and CEO Dr. Moshe Kam in Hyderabad on January 23rd,
2011 inaugurated "IEEE Exhibits at Birla Science Centre".

From the blog ((http://moshekam.org/) of Prof Moshe Kam – IEEE
President:

“… What we have witnessed during the last year in Hyderabad is IEEE at
its best. Local volunteers supported by IEEE funding and local industry
support, working with the community and civic institutions to improve
technical literacy among young students and the public. Just about a year
ago, the area where the shiny exhibits are operating now was a rather
unused storage space not frequented by visitors. Every day now it hosts
hundreds of parents with their children and teachers with their students. It
feels like a small miracle…” – Prof. Moshe Kam, IEEE President, 2011

 Use if E-Mail LIST SERVERS of IEEE for frequent communication with the
members
 Use of social media such as Twitter and Linkedin
 Active Students Members (Volunteers) are invited to SEC meetings thus
enthusing importance of professional activities and IEEE. IEEE Hyderabad
Section introduced Student Representative (SSR) beginning from 2010
 IEEE Hyderabad Section formed a committee (Resource Development
Committee, RDC) maintaining a database of volunteers who are interested in
delivering technical lectures, tutorials. It helped a lot to quickly identify
speakers for events.
