Computer Society – SAIEEE Central Texas Section Fall Planning MeetingSeptember 6, 2014 San Marcos, TX
SWOT Analysis • Strengths: The community has a significant number of businesses and universities where potential speakers can be found. • Weaknesses: (1) Low attendance at meetings from outside the St. Mary’s University community. (2) This fall we have had no success recruiting speakers. We may have to cancel one or more meetings if we do not find speakers soon. • Opportunities: Good programs should attract better attendance • Threats: Low IEEE Member Attendance gives us a very small pool to search for new leadership. This issue threatens the very existence of this chapter in San Antonio. We plan an election at the same time as other section chapters this fall. Interested parties are encouraged to step forward.
Chapter Plans / Issues • 4 Technical Meetings in the Spring of 2015 • 3 Technical Meetings in the Fall of 2014 if we are able to find suitable interested speakers. • The 4th Technical Meeting in the Spring of 2015 will be the Annual Student Night meeting. • We are changing our election cycle to match other local chapters. Therefore the next election will be in Fall 2014 for Officers to serve from January 2015 to December 2015.
