The overall purpose of the Member Activities Board (MAB) is to promote membership within the IEEE Control Systems Society and to provide IEEE resources to the membership through various committee activities. The MAB is headed by the Vice-President for Member Activities. Committee Chairs are expected to attend at least one MAB meeting per year in order to plan and coordinate their activities. If they cannot attend the MAB meeting, then a report of their activities should be forwarded twice a year to be reported at the MAB meetings at the ACC and the CDC. The Chairs of the MAB are appointed by the CSS President upon recommendation by the Vice President for MAB, and with the approval of the Executive Committee. The nominal term of office is one (calendar) year, although there is no limit on the number of terms that may be served. The standing and ad-hoc committees of the IEEE CSS Member Activities Board (MAB) are listed below. Respective scope information can be found on corresponding committee pages.
