Recent increases occurred in the following grades:  Affiliate (1), Associate Member (3), Graduate Student Member (8), Member (21), Senior Member (2), and Student Member (16).

From March 24, 2011 through April 20, 2011, 22 new members joined the Orlando Section:  2 Associate Members, 6 Members, 6 Graduate Student Members, and 8 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 March 24, 2011 through April 20, 2011, 2 active IEEE members moved to the Orlando Section:  1 Life 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.

Since it requires far less effort to recover a former member than to recruit a new one, the MD Chair of the Orlando Section has contacted many of the “lapsed” members to encourage them to renew and to determine the reasons for their non-renewal. 

The number of Members-in-Arrears in the Orlando Section has been reduced to 332, as of April 20, 2011. The current list is attached to this report.  Active Section members must continue to work to recover these lapsed members.

 

The most recent web casts of the IEEE Membership Development Committee were conducted on Saturday, April 16, 2011, and Wednesday, April 20, 2011, based on March 2011 membership data.  A PDF file of the web-cast content is attached to this report.  The next MD web cast is scheduled for May 21, 2011.
