Mission
The IEEE-USA Government Fellows Committee develops and maintains an effective government fellowship program which enables IEEE’s U.S. members to provide their expertise and advice to the U.S. government. In return, IEEE’s U.S. members gain knowledge about and experience with public policymaking on matters related to science and technology. The committee reports to the IEEE-USA Board of Directors through the IEEE-USA Vice President of Government Relations.
Roster
The IEEE-USA President appoints US-based IEEE members to serve individual three (3) year terms. Additionally, representatives of the US Department of State and the US Agency for International Development participate in the selection and interviews of the executive branch fellows.
