7 Who I am Member of Region 3, Atlanta Section Professor of ECE at Georgia Tech for 21 years in the field of electric machines and power electronics. Very passionate about IEEE. My enthusiasm stems in part, from its demonstrable effects on my career. Web Cast Etiquette: Ask questions using the online chat feature. Technical assistance: web-conf@ieee.org Membership Development Web CastSlide 7

8 Goals Clearly, my IEEE-life has been in TAB. MRR may be an MGA cmte, but it is an IEEE- wide function. We need to always think of it that way. But, member recruitment and retention reaches equally across both MGA and TAB. We need TAB and MGA working together to help engage members in finding their IEEE home. My goal is to make section, region, and society MD chairs aligned partners in recruitment. Web Cast Etiquette: Ask questions using the online chat feature. Technical assistance: web-conf@ieee.org Membership Development Web CastSlide 8

9 Goals We know that primary reason to join is to stay technically current. We must use the technical pubs and networking of the societies to help the sections attract members. At the same time, society memberships are decreasing. Societies have a pressing interest in bolstering membership. Web Cast Etiquette: Ask questions using the online chat feature. Technical assistance: web-conf@ieee.org Membership Development Web CastSlide 9

10 Key Issues for retention Focus on the Member –Members are partners, not customers or clients. –Many of our members are struggling to stay current. Engaging industry members –Bringing conferences and other products to the local level and the desktop Cannot just be a knowledge community, but embrace other types of community. Engage volunteers more immediately Web Cast Etiquette: Ask questions using the online chat feature. Technical assistance: web-conf@ieee.org Membership Development Web CastSlide 10
