What is PACE? (Professional Activities Committees for Engineers)
A grass roots network of IEEE volunteers and committees organized at the section and chapter levels with support from Regions and IEEE-USA
PACE Promotes: The professional interests of the U.S. members The professional activities within Sections, Chapters
and Student Branches of the Region A mechanism for communication of members' views
on their professional needs
