Membership Development Report for March 2011:

As of February 21, 2011, there were 1521 active members of all grades in the Orlando Section. This is an increase of 33 from the 1488 members tallied on January 21, 2011.  A closer examination of the membership counts by grade for the last three reporting periods is shown below. 

 

A comparison with the totals for February 25, 2010 shows a year-over-year loss in Orlando Section membership, especially among Student Members and Graduate Student Members.

Please welcome these new IEEE members. Their names and technical interests appear on the attached list of new IEEE members to the Orlando Section.

From January 22, 2011 through February 20, 2011, 8 active IEEE members moved to the Orlando Section:  6 Members, 1 Graduate Student Member, and 1 Student Member.  Please welcome the IEEE members who have moved to the Orlando Section.  Their names along with their technical interests are shown on the attached list of existing members who have joined the Orlando Section during this period.

 

Note that the number of active members in the Orlando Section can be expected to decline from March to April, as the IEEE will remove the names of members-in-arrears who have not renewed by March 1, 2011. 

 

A list of  the 421 members-in-arrears in the Orlando Section, as of 2-20-2011, is attached.  The list includes the last reported contact information for these members to allow renewal reminders by Orlando Section officers and Student Branch leaders; many appear to be affiliated with UCF.  

The most recent webcast for the IEEE Membership Development Committee was conducted on Saturday, February 19, 2011, and was based on January 2011 data.  A PDF file for the slides used during the webcast is attached to this report.
