AICNCC
Many IEEE-USA members have turned to consulting as a way to practice their profession. Many of these members have come together to form local Consultants Networks. IEEE-USA is working to support these members career exploration into the field of self-employed consulting through its Alliance of IEEE Consultants' Networks Coordinating Committee (AICNCC). AICNCC helps local IEEE Consultants' Networks coordinate their activities and provides services to individual consultants in areas lacking sufficient members to start a local network. AICNCC's objectives include fostering the growth of Consultants' Networks in the United States, encouraging consultants to join existing networks or form new ones, promoting the use of independent technical and engineering consultants by industry and business, and providing educational activities for self-employed members. To date over 40 groups of IEEE members have formed local IEEE Consultants’ Networks.

IEEE-USA Consultants Profile eBooks
As a
consultant is preparing a proposal or
negotiating a contract, one of the primary
concerns is deciding how much to charge. To
establish a fixed price or a fee that is both
competitive and fair, the consultant needs to
know what other consultants working in similar
fields charge. In response to this need, the
Alliance of IEEE Consultants Networks (AICN)
conducts national fee surveys of its members. Download eBook
