The IT Society (ITSOC) greatly depends on energetic and enthusiastic participation by society members as volunteers. As our society grows in size and geographical diversity, having a mechanism to track members’ interests and connect them with the various ITSOC committee chairs can benefit all activities of the society. To this end, we are developing a mechanism to connect interested members with committee chairs via a volunteer website. This event will showcase the ITSOC volunteer site and also have committee chairs present to describe the volunteer positions that become available on a revolving basis. Once the website is public, volunteers can submit their details. We do wish to note that submitting such an expression of interest does not guarantee that members will be asked to volunteer immediately; rather this is the start of a new mechanism to enable broader participation, which is expected to result in more diversity and inclusion.

2023 IEEE ISIT Event Date & Time: Monday, June 26 between 12:40-13:20.  Location:  4F VIP Room at ISIT 2023.
