To: Region 3 Committee / ExCom From: Lee Stogner Date: Sun Mar 23, 2003 10:26:17 PM US/Central Subject: R3 Membership Development Report - March 23, 2003 Region 3, The year 2003 represents a major opportunity to build the best IEEE team that Region 3 has ever had. We have good leadership at both the Region and the Section level. Many of our leaders have gone through Leadership training and have experience that comes from working to promote IEEE in Region 3. With all of this in mind, I need your help in developing and promoting a campaign that will encourage student / working engineers to join, rejoin and upgrade their membership status. I also need your help in helping me identify a member in every Section that will become my local contact for a range of Membership information that will be coming from National and Region 3. Send me your contact names and I will make them a member of the core Membership team. Recently I attended the IEEE Membership Development Retreat in New Jersey. I proud to say that overall the IEEE is growing. But we could do better if we didn't lose members each year during the renewal cycle and as they graduate from school. Please use your recently received "renewals" list to contact members that are too important to lose. We have also developed a set of 2003 Goals and Objectives for Membership Development. Please review the attached list and let me know what you want to help with or what I have missed. 2003 Goals and Objectives - Region 3 Membership Development 1 - Develop Student Transition Program 2 - Promote Senior Membership Upgrades 3 - Communicate to the R3 MD team with regular e-conf's 4 - Membership Development Representative in every Section / Council 5 - Work with Section Representatives to contact members in arrears 6 - Develop Membership "Values" Kit 7 - Work with the Public Information Committee to increase R3 awareness of IEEE Thanks in advance for your help and I look forward to working with all of you to continue to build the Region 3 team.
