Global Fidelity Program
Recommendation #2:
As members maintain their IEEE membership over their years, IEEE must reward them for their loyalty. Rewards ought to be tangible and useful and can be done simply and inexpensively. Create Global Fidelity Programs including: (a) Continue membership Recognition 5-10-15-20 years of membership (b) Bonus for specific Benefits (e.g., reduced fee, IEEE merchandise, etc).

Pre-University Periodical
Recommendation #5:
To encourage interest in pre-university students in engineering careers, IEEE to publish a subscription periodical (paper or electronic) targeted to high school students that highlights engineering activities of interest to those students. The periodical should also have articles promoting the benefits of an engineering career and what the students can do in college to get involved with IEEE.

Establish a baseline at the Region level
VC Geographic Units Operational Support Committee to take the lead
Reward Good Behavior – 2011
Look at all the money coming into MGA, what type of activities generate income, and where it goes
Region Finance ad hoc committee to take the lead
Empower Innovation – 2011
Operationalize Regional Geographic Strategy that empowers innovation and collaboration – that supports the new paradigm
VC Strategic Development and Environmental Assessment Committee to take the lead
MGA in 2012Continue the progress
– Implement Membership Planning and Strategy—work collaboratively with other OU’s and departments
– Building on MGA strengths for integration into IEEE Conferences business strategy
