Important Input from TAB for Membership (November 2010)

IEEE TRADITIONAL Membership Blend of ‘E’ and ‘P’ components One Society BASIC membership (member’s choice) is included with IEEE membership. All Society BASIC memberships are valued at the same price. Additional Society BASIC memberships (beyond the initial choice) are available. All additional Society BASIC memberships are priced the same. Offerings, and prices, for ENHANCED Society memberships can vary by Society. Each Society shall offer only one ENHANCED model membership. Print offerings, E-learning products and other bundled-with-memberships offerings fall into the a la carte ENHANCED packages. IEEE TRADITIONAL Membership Blend of ‘E’ and ‘P’ components Society ENHANCED Membership BASIC Membership ‘E’ components IEEE E-MEMBERSHIP E: Electronic P: Print Proposed Society Two Tiered Membership Model

Proposed Model Principles: Society BASIC Membership IEEE membership to contain one Society BASIC membership. The price is “included.” Additional Society BASIC memberships may be added at time of join/renew/add. The price for each Society BASIC membership is consistent (ie, same price for each membership added to IEEE membership, beyond that which is included). Society ENHANCED memberships may contain variable components and are priced a la carte.

Proposed Model Principles: Society ENHANCED Membership Society ENHANCED membership offerings will vary by Society Components will vary Prices will vary Memberships will be offered at join/renew/add Each Society, however, will only have one ENHANCED membership model.

What Happens Next? Go back to your AdComs and colleagues and get buy-in! Consider how alternate membership options could enable economic win-wins Bring your thoughts to the web forums: http://tadiscuss.ieee.org Consider options for bundling products or what to make Basic/Enhanced in your membership packages 5/23/2019

What does a Member get? Societies can self-manage their eMembership package each Society determines the bundle of services and products to be included in their Basic Membership under the proposed model. each Society should have the independence to manage how they elect to cover the costs of their membership. For instance, Basic Membership may include all, some or one product such as: eNewsletter, eMagazine, community access, web education, etc.
