Your local IEEE Section can also benefit. MGM is at: http://www.ieee.org/about/volunteers/membership_development/mgm.html o Conference Member Recruitment (CMR)This program offers an incentive to those who join the IEEE at a technical conference. Each higher-grade, full-dues paying IEEE membership applicant is given one year of membership to one of IEEE's 38 Technical Societies. CMR is at: http://www.ieee.org/about/volunteers/membership_development/cmr.html Slide 16 Retaining members Emphasis on engagement as a preventive/proactive retention strategy: o Local outreaches send a personal message on value of membership o Involve student members in activities to see value in their membership – long term o Utilize local communications: Newsletter and Website to provide information o First Year Member outreach o Don’t wait until renewal or when members are in arrears o Pre-arrears outreach in January o Post-arrears outreach end of February/early March Benefits of IEEE Membership – find out by country, by member-cycle!

Questions and contact details Thank you for your time!

What is IEEE Life Member? Life Member is the senior membership status in the IEEE members’ life cycle. Life Member ratio in total of Fellows, Senior Members and Members is as follows: R1~R10 9.1% (27,327/299,214) R10 (1,273/56,015) However, Life Member increase rate is large in R10. 2.3% 2. Benefits of IEEE Life Membership Dues and regional assessments are waived. Society fees are also waived. Reduced member rates are applied at IEEE sponsored conferences. Life Members continue to receive the same benefits that are available to other IEEE members. 3. How can you become a Life Member? o First, you have to attain the age of 65 years, AND o Second, you have been a member of IEEE for such period that the sum of your age and your years of membership reaches 100 years. o Therefore, it takes a long time to become a Life Member. 1. For example, if you became a member when you were 30 years old, and if you have retained your membership for 35 years till you become 65 years old, your age 65 and your 35 years of membership sum up to 100. You become a Life Member at the age 65, which is minimal. 2. On the other hand, when you got affiliated with the IEEE at rather elderly age, for example, at 50, you can be a Life Member when you reach 75 years old. o Suggestions induced from the above facts: a). Your affiliation with the IEEE at younger age is most encouraged. b). Your retaining the membership and involvement of IEEE activities for many years are highly recommended. Life Members represent an invaluable repository of personal experiences involving the history of areas of interest to IEEE. 4. Life Members Affinity Group ( LMAG ) LMAG is a local unit of an IEEE organizational unit, constituted by IEEE members who have obtained Life Member Status and established by petition, concerned to represent and fulfill the needs of the local IEEE Life Members. LMAGs can help to enable Life Members to retain active IEEE associations, contribute to the social good in their communities, advance IEEE´s professional interests and enjoy each other's company. The IEEE Life Members Committee believes that keeping Life Members active and engaged is a key component to the success of the IEEE in local IEEE activities. There are 80 LMAGs now in the world. In Region 10, there are only five LMAGs---- Bombay Section, Kansai Section, New South Wales Section, South Australia Section, and Tokyo Section as shown in the next slide. Therefore, it is strongly encouraged to form new LMAGs in the Region 10.
