Invite industry leaders from developing countries - visit them and build relationships Engage “targeted” industry leaders: offer bundled packages –Introduce “ComSoc Honorary Fellow” status to recognize significant connect or partnership, e.g. employee membership fee reimbursement, travel grants, patron $$ –Create ComSoc Advisory Board including top corporate leaders (and others – interaction is important) Introduce “Industry Leaders Award” and other awards Introduce a magazine with focus on applications and global developments

16. More suggestions…. Offer incentives for membership renewal Invite ‘non-member authors’ to become members Introduce incentives and awards at Chapter level –Membership development, Membership level upgrade Include more Communications Magazine articles and on-line services of general and industry interest – priced to sell!
