Vancouver PES Places FIRST in Membership Growth Contest

Another success of our PES Chapter! From the final results for the 2007 PES Membership Growth Contest indicated in the HQ note below, Vancouver Section PES Chapter won first place in the Large Chapters category (over 100 members.) The HQ note reads: After a careful review of statistics and numbers related to the conditions of chapters' membership, we have the final results for the 2007 PES Membership Growth Contest.

First of all, I would like to thank our Membership Coordinator, Drew Bonthron, for an outstanding job managing this contest, providing follow up during the year and compiling the results.

The year 2007 was a good year for PES in terms of membership behavior achieving a total growth of 5.8%, and 4% in higher grade members, compared with 2006 numbers. Also, comparing with many other IEEE societies that showed negative numbers, we all should be proud of the results obtained in 2007, because every chapter contributed in one way to achieve this growth.

For the membership contest we had 47 entries through call for participation that was made at the beginning of last year. Twelve of these chapters exceeded the minimum quota required by the contest in each category. For the Large Chapters category >100 members

First Place: Vancouver 8%
Second Place: Germany 7%
