Notable increases have occurred at the Student Member (+16), Graduate Student Member (+19), and Affiliate Member (+4) grades, since the last reporting period.  However, there has been a steady decline at the Member grade, down 11 since the last reporting period.  The growth in Student and Graduate Student memberships is due to in-migration to the Orlando Section and the residual effect of the student membership drives at UCF and VCC.

Over the 31 days, ending on November 23, 2009, 23 new members joined the Orlando Section: 4 Members, 15 Student Members, 2 Graduate Student Members, and 2 Associate Members. See the attached list of new members in the Orlando Section.

Over the 31 days, ending on November 24, 2009, 12 active IEEE members moved into the Orlando Section: 1 Associate Member, 1 Graduate Student Member, 1 Life Member, 7 Members, and 2 Student Members.  See the attached list of incoming existing members to the Orlando Section.

The incentive program of Region 3 to increase higher-grade membership in all Sections will last over the 2010 recruitment year, ending August 31, 2010.  Each Section will be given $5 for each new, not transferred, higher-grade member, who joins the Section between September 1, 2009 and August 31, 2010.  Since September 1, 2009, only 6 new Members have joined the Orlando Section.  

 

Current members at all grades are strongly encouraged to recruit new members at the higher grade.

The next general IEEE Membership Development Conference Call is scheduled for January 12, 2010.
