Bringing Together Consultants and Clients
IEEE-CNSV is a network of about 200 consultants that enables its members to promote their skills to potential clients in a number of ways. Each member has a profile webpage to describe their skills, and a search field enables site visitors to find consultants for a new gig.

How are IEEE and CNSV connected?
IEEE-CNSV is organized under the auspices of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional society. The Institute’s US Activities Board, whose focus lies with issues surrounding the career engineer, began the groundwork for the Network in 1991. Since then, it has grown into a nation-wide representation named the Alliance of IEEE Consultants’ Networks (AICN). IEEE membership is not a requirement for CNSV membership.

Vision
IEEE-CNSV members are subscribed to an email listserver which can be used to ask other members about hardware or software tools, how best to handle a new consulting engagement, collaborate with other members, pass along consulting engagements, etc. Monthly meetings, held in-person and broadcast online, have been popular for providing interesting presentations, socializing with other CNSV members, and meeting potential clients. CNSV’s goals include promoting innovation and job growth, as well as adherence to the IEEE professional values as stated in the IEEE Code of Ethics.
