vTools - providing tools to the volunteers
and staff who support our members.
vTools are developed and made possible by IEEE
volunteers. The toolbox simplifies administration by
offering web based software, reduces time spent
managing activities, and assists in member development.
vTools project portfolio is sponsored by IEEE Membership
and Geographic Activities (MGA). MGA serves the needs
of IEEE members by supporting IEEE Sections, Chapters,
and Branches and is responsible for IEEE membership,
and member development.
vTools toolkit contains tools in various phases of
development, from production, to pilots, to active
development
