  2. Membership - 2001 Wrap Up • 5.7% increase in CPMT Society membership • 4,111 in December 2001 v. 3,891 in December 2000 • 4th fastest growing IEEE Society • higher percentage of international members than IEEE (40.6% v. 37.5%) and other Societies overall • New initiatives launched to promote “value” of membership (timed for 2002 membership cycle) • member Welcome Kit • calling cards for volunteers representing the Society at key venues • recognition items that raise the visibility of the CPMT “brand” • print ads that extend the reach of our core messages

  3. CPMT Membership 1998 - 2001

  4. For new and returning members in 2002 Goals Convert “passive” subscribers to “active” volunteers - improve retention Raise “everyday” awareness of key products and services Position our web site as convenient, informative communications tool - bridging globalization barriers Give folks tangible thank-you’s for joining Member Welcome Kit

  5. For Society representatives, “ambassadors” and honorees Goals Provide volunteers engaged in outreach with Society “ID’s” Make CPMT’s role and presence more visible at Society, industry, and professional events Enhance the stature of Society membership Reward active volunteers for participation and service Provide “tokens of appreciation” to honorees, guests and strategic allies Membership Recognition & Recruitment “Tools”

  6. For “in-house” use conference + workshop programs our Transactions newsletters (sections, CPMT, local chapters) web site marketing kits chapter events (as posters) For media opportunities earned media exchange ads trade show programs strategic media buys in affordable pubs Membership Ads

  7. Membership Issues Going Forward • Membership renewals and new member recruitment remains hit-and-miss • IEEE demographic info is too aggregated and/or too “after the fact” to be helpful as a planning tool • New member stats are reported; non-renewals are not

  8. 2002 Membership Program Plans • Integrate Member Welcome Kit and “freebies” as part of the standardized processing of new or renewed members. • Place print ads in targeted Society conference promotion literature and for earned/paid placement in select trade publications • Distribute polo shirts and member pins as a special recognition at events • Attend IEEE Membership Retreat at Princeton, NJ March 2002 • Update and re-design the Member pages of the web site
