What Is the IEEE Staff Directory?

The IEEE Staff Directory is a searchable reference resource maintained by the IEEE that lists the professional staff employees of the organization, providing contact information and organizational placement for the personnel who support IEEE's operations. The directory serves as a practical tool for members, volunteers, and external parties who need to reach specific IEEE staff units or individuals responsible for particular programs, publications, standards activities, or administrative functions. Because the IEEE's operational scope spans publishing, standards development, member services, conferences, and government relations, the directory covers a wide range of professional roles distributed across the organization's offices in Piscataway, New Jersey, Washington, D.C., and international locations.

The directory reflects the dual structure of the IEEE organization: staff units are organized to support both the geographic dimension of the organization, which includes regions, sections, and student branches, and the technical dimension, which includes societies, councils, and standards committees. A volunteer leader working with a particular IEEE society can use the directory to identify the staff liaison assigned to that society; a conference organizer can locate the conference services contact for their event; a member seeking a certification or credential can find the appropriate administrative unit. This functional navigability distinguishes the staff directory from the broader organizational charts that describe IEEE's governance structure.

Organizational Coverage

The IEEE Staff Directory covers personnel working across the major functional divisions of the organization, including publication services, standards operations, member and geographic activities, educational activities, and organizational support functions such as legal, finance, and information technology. Staff associated with IEEE Xplore, the digital library that delivers more than 200 journals and thousands of conference proceedings to researchers worldwide, sit within the publications and technology products function. Staff supporting the approximately 1,000 active IEEE standards working groups are organized under the IEEE Standards Association, which maintains its own staff infrastructure. The directory thus functions as a navigational map across a distributed professional organization.

Access and Maintenance

The IEEE Staff Directory is maintained and updated by the organization's human resources and communications staff as personnel changes occur. Access is typically provided through the IEEE website's contact and support infrastructure, with some portions available to the general public and additional detail available to authenticated IEEE members and volunteers. The IEEE Contact & Support page serves as the public-facing entry point for locating staff contacts by functional area, complementing the more detailed directory available to authenticated users. Keeping the directory current is an operational priority because outdated staff contact information creates friction in the many volunteer-staff interactions that sustain IEEE's program activities.

Applications

The IEEE Staff Directory supports coordination across the full range of IEEE activities, including:

• Member inquiries about dues, credentials, and account management
• Volunteer liaison contact for society committees and governance bodies
• Conference organizer coordination with IEEE event services staff
• Standards participant contact with IEEE Standards Association staff
• Author and editor communication with IEEE publication staff
• Media and external relations inquiries to IEEE communications staff
