新支部設立について
●新支部設立の目的

一万人近い会員をもつ東京支部を分割し、各地に新しくIEEE支部を設立することにより、日本におけるIEEE活動の活性化を促すとともに、特に地方在住の会員へのサービス向上、それに伴う会員増強などを実現する。

●新支部設立検討委員会

新支部の設立を検討するため、各地区代表8名、東京支部理事代表4名、Chapter 代表4名からなる新支部設立検討委員会を発足させ、第1回会合を1998年2月18日に開催した。その後検討を重ねた結果、7支部新設案で具体化を進めることとなった。

●新支部設立の申請および承認

検討委員会の答申に基づき設立準備を進め、1998年10月に7つの新支部設立の申請書をIEEE本部に提出し、1998年11月の本部役員会で設立が正式に承認された。新支部の名称、領域、発起人、会員数（1999年2月現在）は以下の通りである。
