IEEE Central Texas Section CTCN Affinity Group Update Concern?

IEEE Central Texas Section CTCN Affinity Group Update CTS Chapter chairs and staff invited free of charge RSVP to by midnight Thursday so we have a count for lunch $15 donation for lunch much appreciated – cash or check at the door Workshop, Saturday September 13 th, 8:30am

IEEE Central Texas Section SWOT Analysis Strength – Good team work & network to recruit speakers. Weakness – Recruiting new members for the leadership team. Opportunity – Host joint events with other groups. Threat – Staying relevant as local technical employment conditions improve and CTCN membership ages.

IEEE Central Texas Section Chapter Plans / Issues Mix topics at monthly meetings to cover professional development, training, and technical topics. Co-host workshop (if another chapter is interested). Recruit younger members via workshop focus and speaker topic choices. Fill Communications Manager opening. Improve return rate for first time attendees.
