Comments on Recruiting Results Even though 13 conferences were conducted in 2011, the recruiting efforts fell far behind hoped-for results. The end- of-year NPSS population lagged the previous year by 107 individuals or 2.1%. As seen, one conference, PPC, conducted no recruiting at all. Concerted efforts will be needed to make up for this loss in The following ‘Hockey Stick’ plot illustrates the results.

January-February Pre-Arrears During January and February, those IEEE members who have not renewed, enter the “Pre-Arrears” state. Some have simply over-looked their renewal. If they do not renew by 28 February, they will be dropped off. As of this this date some 564 NPSS have failed to renew. The following chart shows the grade distribution of these members. Hopefully, some will recover.
