Abstract: IEEE is the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. IEEE’s mission to foster technological innovation and excellence to benefit humanity requires the talents and perspectives of people with different personal, cultural, and disciplinary backgrounds. The MTT-S, with 13,500+ members, endorses the statement on diversity and inclusion of IEEE. IEEE is committed to advancing diversity in the technical profession, and to promoting an inclusive and equitable culture that welcomes, engages, and rewards all who contribute to the field, without regard to race, religion, gender, disability, age, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. In this talk, the MTT-S society will be presented in the framework of MTT-S AdCom and D&I Committee with particular focus on inclusion, equity, and diversity. An introduction of the MTT-S to the community members about the AdCom, the responsibilities of the SC, opportunities and resources, benefits for career development, how to get involved into MTT-S and become volunteer, etc. How to engage senior professionals by inviting them to deliver talks to the young professionals to share their experiences or advice on how do research or how to have better career development, how to writing good papers, and much more.

Abstract Have you ever wondered how to take a seed of an idea to reality? The IEEE MOVE (Mobile Outreach utilizing volunteer engagement) Program started that way. That seed just celebrated its 8th anniversary of providing service to the community and is expanding internationally. MOVE volunteers support disaster relief agencies committed to assisting victims of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, forest fires, and flooding. MOVE brings assistance in terms of short-term communications, and power solutions, allowing those affected by these natural disasters to stay connected. When not deployed for natural disasters, MOVE volunteers conduct community outreach and facilitate learning opportunities for students and the general public in the areas o Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Learn the key steps in developing such a program and MOVE with purpose. 3 key takeaways from this presentation 1) How to bring a vague idea to a fully developed international program. 2) How to build team engagement and enthusiasm. 3) How to develop relationships outside your immediate community.
