The requirements for starting a Chapter are straightforward
- a viable group forms to create a Chapter and have
organized to the point of adopting a set of bylaws as
well as have elected a group of officers. A sample set
of bylaws may be found be clicking the below link. Please
note from the USAEE bylaws the following applies to
all USAEE Chapters:
1. At least two of the
senior officers of the Chapter are USAEE members.
2. At least twenty (20)
members or 1/3 of the membership of the group, whichever
is less, are members of USAEE.
3. The objectives and
activities of the Chapter are consistent with those
of the USAEE as set forth in the Association’s
bylaws.
4. The structure and
internal organization of each Chapter is at the discretion
of the individual members of such Chapter, except that
each Chapter shall have a President and Board/Council
who are elected by a plurality of its members.
5. The President shall
be responsible for primary liaison with the Association.
As a general rule, the national organization (USAEE)
does not get involved in Chapter organizational matters,
elections, financial matters, or activities except as
agreed on a case-by-case basis, such as for a meeting
in which both organizations may be involved. In no case,
however, does the USAEE bear any legal responsibility
for actions taken or not taken by its Chapters or any
of their members. The affiliation with USAEE is voluntary
and at the sole discretion of the USAEE. Chapter recognition
may be revoked at any time should USAEE deem necessary.
USAEE dues are $65.00 per person, per year for a subscription
to The USAEE Dialogue, The Energy Journal and IAEE Newsletter
for regular members and $35.00 per person, per year
for students. USAEE bills members directly for their
membership in the Association.
If you have any further questions regarding the establishment
of a USAEE Chapter please do not hesitate to contact
USAEE Vice President, Chapter Liaison, Mina Dioun or USAEE’s Executive Director David L. Williams.
