About SB Activity Reporting
Event reporting is also one of the important activities when it comes to successfully running a Student Branch. The most important reason for this is the Annual rebate of $100/$50 depending on the number of members in your SB given will look into the Events conducted and reported by your Student Branch. IEEE requires that Student Branches report their activities and maintain a minimum of 10 Student or Graduate Student members.
Minimum of 4 events must be reported in a year for a Student Branch to be active, else it will be slated as Dormant Student Branch.
Events are reported on the vTools Event reporting website: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/
