What can the IEEE-USA do for you? Dr. Gary L. Blank, IEEE-USA Vice-President, Career and Member Services, will describe new tools, new services, and new programs, and updates on older ones, at this special meeting. These are all designed to advance the careers, practices, and networking of consultants, entrepreneurs, those who are employed, and those who are unemployed.

During his talk, Dr. Blank will explain how the Consultants Networks function, and how they interface and work with other IEEE organizations including the Sections, PACE, Chapters and Societies, WIE Women in Engineering, GOLD, and Life Members. He will describe the powerful IEEE-USA Consultants Database website and how it helps consultants find clients. He will also talk about the newly-formed IEEE-USA Entrepreneurs Networks and how effective they are in helping members to start new businesses, the new IEEE-USA Employment Networks that are rapidly growing and how they are helping our unemployed members to find jobs, and some of the new career advancement tools and services.
