Bundled Model Proposal:IEEE & Society Membership Roger D. Pollard Past VP, Technical Activities Chair, TAB Ad-Hoc on Society Membership Howard Michel VP, Member & Geographic Activities Member, TAB Ad-Hoc on Society Membership June 2011
Rationale • 50% of IEEE members are not engaged with technical community • In the past ~7 years, IEEE has lost more members than we have. • Retention of members is poor • 1% increased retention is worth $200,000 • Spreading fixed costs of membership. • Increasing Society membership enables stronger member engagement, esp. Chapters.
Adding a “Technical Home” will likely improve overall IEEE retention - Especially for new Members, the least likely to renew * Does not include Student/Graduate Student Memberships
The plan • Society basic membership, preferably e-delivered (at a delivery cost below $2-$3) and designed to a standardized $15 price model. • Optional enhanced membership – price & benefits determined by Society. • A bundled single basic Society membership will be included with all Higher Grade member renewals. • Students can purchase a half-price basic or enhanced Society • No additional IEEE dues increase in first year. • Dues transition, if needed, during 2014-16 • Likely $5 and certainly no greater than $15 • Protect Societies from changes in dues revenues during 2013-15.
Bundled “Technical Home”is BASIC Society Membership Basic Society Enhanced Society Enhanced is priced higher than Basic & prices varies by Society It is not required to be offered May include at the Society’s discretion: Additional Products Additional Periodicals Other online content and products • Access to Society Discounts($10-$1100) • Access to one Society Digital Periodical (newsletter, Qmag, etc.) • Access to Society Website Member Content (if available) • Access to Online Community/Information on myIEEE(launch 2012)
