The Welcome session held on 26th February 2023 brought together both old and new members and volunteers of the IEEE Community Outreach Team for an interactive and engaging gathering. The primary objectives of the session were to foster a sense of unity, understand the perspectives and ideas of new members, brainstorm innovative event concepts, and explore the motivations behind choosing to be a part of the IEEE Community Outreach Team.

The agenda encompassed various aspects to ensure a productive and inclusive session. The first item on the list was to facilitate an interactive environment that encouraged open communication and collaboration among all attendees. This created a welcoming atmosphere and set the tone for the rest of the session.

An essential part of the Welcome session was getting to know the new members and understanding their unique perspectives and ideas. Each member introduced themselves, sharing their background and the reasons behind joining the IEEE Community Outreach Team. This helped in creating a sense of camaraderie and enabled everyone to appreciate the diversity of talents and experiences within the team.
