  1. Membership Report Some numbers, ideas, questions Sal Portillo

  2. OUTLINE • A little historical perspective • What have we been achieving? • How have we been doing this? • Conference Efforts • What needs to be done • Much to learn still! • Who are we? • IEEE demographics, NPSS. • Why are we different? • Are we saturated in the US? • Where do we want to be • Total number • Growth Rate • Demographics • Overview of plan

  3. Where are we? Some points worth mentioning… In 2003-2006 we saw a decline of about 13% A concerted effort to recruit new members at conferences took place.. in 5 years we recouped the lost 13% The past three years we have stabilized around 2650 members. Large increases in new members for the past 7 years, sometimes up to 1000 new members! BUT.. each year we had an equivalent large drop.. No new renewals. Awaiting NSS and Beams 2012 We are hovering around 2600 members…as in 2003..We are fighting over the same number!

  4. Conference Efforts Why Of course, recruit! Wave the NPSS flag. We are typically (co)sponsors What is ‘Best’ way to do this?? Sort of like ‘what is the best ride at Disney? Lots of opinions! • Ok. Lets set some Goals • Systematic and consistent approach at all conferences. • But what is this approach? • Core set of volunteers. • Hard Work!! • Better Targeting • Europe, Asia, Students, Senior Members,??? • Still learning.. Is it worth sending a volunteer to Hawaii for an 80 member conference? Need systematic focused approach. Focus on students, Asia, Europe? More on this later!

  5. Who are we? This is us.. Large Number of regular members Not so many students… Some fellows and life but these are not growth areas?

  6. Where do we want to be? What if? We increased our retention from ~75% to 80% (ahead of IEEE by 10%) Reduce the large swings by being better at sales.. Increase our peak recruit numbers by branching Had a net 2% growth each year How do we do this? Devil is in the details!

  7. Where are the opportunities.. Approximate NPSS Asia Pacific membership SAMIEE Sandy Students! Asia Pacific Europe USA?

  8. How do we do it? General concepts • Focus on Retention • I need to develop a plan that allows me to contact those that did not resign, letter from the president had myself perhaps, reminder of benefits, incentives, etc.. • Aim for a sustainable yearly growth rate of 2-3% • Focus recruitment efforts on students, asia pacific, europe. • Reduce Swings • Focus On Students • Increase Focus on Asia Pacific, Europe • Consistent Approach to recruiting • Documentation that can articulate the benefits of IEEE+NPSS

  9. Thank You!
