In Summary… • Section’s Membership Situation • High retention rate for higher grade members • A small number of Student members • Low retention rate for student members • Thirty-five members are now in arrears • Section MD Plan • Contact with arrears members • Encouragement of the HISS steering committee members to join IEEE • Recruitment of new members using Membership Development kit at the HISS
Problems • It is inconvenient to be a IEEE member without the credit card due to the money transfer. As the custom of Japan, many students do not have any credit cards. If the changes of the payment systemfor member fee, such as the section or council can accept member’s fee with local currency and send the summarizes to HQ, are allowed, the students would be easy to join IEEE. • Some students are hard to find out the advantages to be a IEEE member.
