IEEE Entrepreneurship encourages and welcomes members to participate in liaison roles. Anyone may submit an application; you do not need to be an IEEE member to apply, but this may be a factor in final selections. All applicants should have some experience with entrepreneurship, and be able to perform the expected duties of that role. The determination of Steering Committee voting roles is on the basis of a promote-from-within philosophy, which allows IEEE Entrepreneurship Volunteers to start in a liaison role and develop the necessary skills and know-how to progress into more advanced roles. Volunteers who have served in a role on the committee, immediately before 2022 are eligible for further service; however, they must email IEEE Entrepreneurship Program Manager Thomas Monaco to indicate their interest in serving again.
