Establishing the Technical Activities and Technical Committees of IEEE Consumer Technology Society

The IEEE Consumer Technology Society (CTSoc) is the oldest technical society: it was part of IRE 1920, which merged with AIEE to form IEEE in 1963. As CTSoc claims to be an IEEE Technical Society and is actually one of the 39 IEEE Societies operating under the IEEE Technical Activities Board, it was essential for its recent organizational restructure to include a Technical Activities (TAs) area. This article summarizes the efforts that have been put recently in place over slightly more than two years (since September 2019) by a group of volunteers under the guidance of CTSoc's President and with the help of VP of TAs to establish the TAs area and its 15 technical committees (TCs).
