Briefings

IEEE is restructuring its geographic regions starting February 2023, ending the 'Region 1' designation and creating new merged regions for the Northeast and Eastern U.S. The Asia Pacific region is splitting into two: North Asia (replacing current Region 10) and South Asia/Pacific (replacing current Region 11). While the official realignment date is January 1, 2028, significant preparatory work by MGA volunteers and staff has already begun, including system enhancements, director elections, and governance updates. Membership and local sections remain unchanged during this transition period.

Key points

• The 'Region 1' designation is being eliminated as it merges with the current 'Region 2' to form the new 'Region 2 (Northeastern and Eastern U.S.)'.
• The Asia Pacific region is splitting into two new entities: 'Region 10 (North Asia)' and 'Region 11 (South Asia and Pacific)'. The change does not affect IEEE membership or local sections.
