[IEEE R3] The IEEE Terminator has run. Region 3 is now a lot smaller. Can you help ??

 

Region 3 Volunteers,

 

The IEEE Membership Terminator has just run and the results are not good.  Overall we lost 8,182 members.  This is a major number for a small region such as ours.  Yes some of these members will renew as usual when they finally pay off their Holiday bills.  But, I have feeling that something out there has changed this time.  I believe we have a base of members that are feeling that the price for IEEE membership is too high and the benefits don't justify the annual expense.  We need to identify those members that are at "risk" and add them to the 8,182 that we just lost.  Then we need to reach out to them and answer questions, resolve issues and explain to them how the IEEE and the worldwide network supports their career, their family and the profession.  To help you understand where Region 3 stands versus the other regions, I have attached the latest IEEE MD Monthly Report.

 

At the upcoming Southeastcon 2013, we need to make Membership Growth the number one priority.  Without an ongoing growth in membership, we cannot guarantee a viable IEEE in the southeast of the US.

 

Can I count on your help ?  You can get started by reviewing and downloading the resources you need to be a part of the Region 3 MD team.  It's as simple as clicking here.

 

Sincerely,

 

Lee Stogner, PMP
