Train Chapter
officers to give mini-presentations on membership
value.
Invite Students and
Life Members to take an active role and
participate in the unit's membership
development programs and activities.
Using SAMIEEE, organize
efforts to contact lapsed members,
especially after the Terminator runs.
For Societies, it is a good idea to get
in touch with lapsed Society members from
among those who have renewed their IEEE
membership.
Remind members who
have not renewed the membership benefits
that they will lose, in particular,
subscription to publications, IEEE email alias with
virus protection, insurance coverage and
other offerings of the the Financial Advantage
Program, and IEEE Xplore's (R) easy access to the latest
technical information, professional
networking opportunities, conference discounts,
technical programs, and Standards
activities.
Promote the
Half-year Dues offer for current
members to join a new Society or
subscribe to a publication from 1 March
through 31 August.
Have your Section's
SAMIEEE officer provide
your outreach volunteers with the names
of new members to be contacted each month
to be invited to attend Section
meetings.
Send out press
releases praising local employers who
support IEEE membership and volunteer
services.
Sections and
Societies can encourage prospective
members to attend their events when they
offer professional seminars that help
engineers to upgrade their skills or
maintain licensure. Go to Educational
Activities for information on how to
develop a continuing education program or
visit IEEE Continuing
Education Units for information on
awarding CEUs to engineers for attending
a workshop, seminar, tutorial, or
self-study course that meets their
company's training requirements.
