IEEE Central Texas Section SWOT Analysis l Strengths l Good technical talks, DL program. l Stable attendance rate. l So far one workshop per year in last two years and one planned for this year. l Good leadership pipeline. l Stable funding resource from CAS and SSC Society. l Extra subsidy funding from CAS and SSC for workshop or extra events to promote memberships. l Weaknesses l Find more good technical talks and workshop topics. l Increase attendance rate.

IEEE Central Texas Section SWOT Analysis l Opportunities l Local chip design and EDA companies l University of Texas, Austin l Threats l Seminars inside companies and Universities l A less interesting workshop may get cancelled or need more funding.

IEEE Central Texas Section Chapter Plans / Issues l Continue ISSCC annual review. l One more SSC Distinguished Lecture in Oct 11. l Cosponsor event/seminars with new CEDA chapter (Aug 30 DL seminar is sponsored by both SSC and CEDA). l Invite Distinguished Lecture Program speakers.
