Become a Leader
HTB serves as a scaffolding for humanitarian technology and sustainable development activities at IEEE. The committee does not run all related activities, but rather provides a suite of resources to build awareness, provide training, develop and assess projects, and cultivate relationships with the greater sustainable development community.
