Computer Society – SAIEEE Central Texas Section Spring Planning MeetingJanuary 16, 2016 San Marcos, TX
SWOT Analysis • Strengths: The community has a significant number of businesses and universities where potential speakers can be found. Use of vTools eNotice simplifies communication. • Weaknesses: Low attendance at meetings from outside the St. Mary’s University community. Officers and volunteers sometimes have conflicting schedules. • Opportunities: Good programs should attract better attendance. Cybersecurity theme continues to be viable. Joint meetings with Communications and other Societies also draw more attendance. • Threats: Low IEEE Member Attendance gives us a very small pool to search for new leadership. This continues to be an existential threat to the CS chapter in San Antonio.
Chapter Plans / Issues Monthly Technical meetings in 2016 Quarterly Admin meetings in 2016 Survey of IEEE CS members within our area, to discover interests (program content) and preferences (meeting time, date, location) – using vTools Survey Encourage students and IEEE CS members to use vTools for registration. Work with other chapters in SA to have joint meetings Work with student chapters/advisors to build participation by local students. Small monthly budget for refreshments Small budget for attendance incentives With each eNotice, we attach a printable announcement and encourage posting.
