IEEE Central Texas Section SWOT Analysis l Strengths l Good board, strong working relationships, engaged, new member (secretary, Comm chair) l Weaknesses l Funding – inability to roll over budget to next year. Can’t raise and “save” for future l Opportunities l Partner with local companies/start-ups l Use Meetup and Social media l Threats l Lack of funds/sponsors (lost sponsors)

IEEE Central Texas Section Chapter Plans / Issues l Finalize budget l Find sponsor(s) l Expand via social media (Meetups, etc) l Build self sustaining momentum
