9 Membership and Effects on Region 2 Reduced Region Allocation (~$63,6K 2016) Reduced Region 2 Assessment (~$32.5k 2016 ) Less projects/events/activities for R2 to sponsor due to smaller overall MGA rebate Are we going to do anything about that or just wait and see? 9 21-Apr-17

10 Improve R2 Membership (1) 10 Region Vitality Committee (Rhonda/Ralph) Quarterly teleconferences Participants: RD/RD E, Treasurer/Secretary w/ Area Directors/Section Leaders, various committee leaders (WIE/YP/Membership Dev, Awards and Recognition, Regional Education Activities Coordinator) Purpose: Enhanced collaboration, communication and cooperation Outcome: Promising, although leader participation is low 21-Apr-17

11 Improve R2 Membership (2) 11 Improve engagement, participation and involvement of Members, especially from industry -Make full use of progress in technical networking and communication (online courses?) -Ask for feedback from Area/Section/Chapter leaders, what works, and what does not, and share this information on google drive Increase the effectiveness (metrics) of our R2 committee activities (not just a fun trip) Target activities/events/sponsorship of add ons on existing conferences ( membership tables ) which allows exposure for our programs/activities w/ low costs 21-Apr-17

12 Improve R2 Membership (3) Attract more students, especially graduate students, into IEEE Channel the efforts of our Young Professionals members in keeping our newly graduated engineers engaged in the IEEE and keep them stay (high cancellation rate after 1 st year membership graduation) More WIE member activities (conferences) Committee Leaders shall design activities with measurable outcomes for R2 membership Create additional R2 revenue stream from conferences like SAC/WIE/YP? Apr-17

13 Closing Thoughts Membership in R2 is still decreasing rapidly Identify our strengths and build strategies to increase R2 membership - Create Revenue Stream Through YP/WIE Conferences - Committee chairs needs to work together for a common goal: Engage and retain members Offer value for industry members (PDH) Have fun volunteering!
