IEEE Region 3 Member Engagement Report – July, 2015
IEEE Region 3 Member Engagement Report – June 2015
IEEE R3 ExCom – FYME Training – 7-13-15
IEEE Region 3,
Tonight is a special Region 3 ExCom meeting that will highlight MELC activities including the First Year Member Experience Project, FYME. I have attached the meeting slides and the latest IEEE and Region 3 Member Engagement Reports. Please review and share with your Sections.
The FYME Pilot Sections
Eastern North Carolina Section – Mentors, Mauricio Cano Galvis, Mary Ellen Randall
Florida West Coast Section – Mentor, Jim Howard
Piedmont Section – Mentors, Allen Thomas, Lee Stogner
Savannah Section – Mentors, Rami J Haddad, Bill Ratcliff
These Sections have started their FYME projects and will be available to share what they learn with the rest of the Region 3 team.
The Area / Council Support Team
Area 1 Chair – Sean Haynes
Area 2 Chair – Paul Goodson
Area 3 Chair – William Marshall
Area 4 Chair – James Anderson
Area 5 Chair – Timothy S Bigelow
Area 6 Chair – Eric Grigorian
Area 7 Chair – Jacquelyn D N Cunningham
Area 8 Chair – Anthony M Richardson
Area 9 Chair – Daniel T Tulloch-Reid
These members are particularly important to this project in that they have senior experience with the IEEE and they are geographically close to a small manageable number of Sections that they will help us support. Many thanks to Mary Ellen for volunteering the time of these IEEE Leaders for this project.
Path Forward
At tonight’s Region 3 ExCom Meeting, we will answer questions from everyone regarding the execution phase of the FYME Project. This is not an exercise where we throw documentation “over the wall” and wish you luck in the future. This project will continue to be supported until we are retaining our First Year Members and this process is a ongoing part of our Section activities. All of the Area Chairs are encouraged to participate in the Monday night meetings that the FYME team have been having. If anyone wants to add new detail to our documentation, you are welcome. If you require web casts to engage your entire Sections as a FYME team, not a problem. Bottom line, we are in this together and we will work together to grow back to and exceed our previous high of over 30,000 members.
We still have other Member Engagement activities,
– Student Members
– Company Outreach
– Renewal / Retention
– Senior Member Upgrades
– Life Members
– Our various Committees that deliver Educational, Career and other Professional support
One activity does not replace another, it does take a range of targeted campaigns to ensure that our members are engaged to the point that Region 3 can reach a goal of 50,000 members.
Summary
This project is but one of the activities that it takes to encourage, motivate and grow a organization of thousands of members here in the Southeast. Each of us joined the IEEE for our own reasons. A big part of this project is to find out what these new members need from the IEEE and establish ways in which those needs can be met. We should also review our current, long standing members and ask what can the IEEE do to engage and support them as well.
Don’t forget that we have the July 21 MD Webcast coming up. Registration details are included below.
Sincerely,
Lee Stogner, PMP
Region 3 Member Engagement Chair

Georgia Tech’s HyTech Racing team needs an engineer to perform an unofficial technical review of their vehicle next week so that they can compete in this year’s national competition. If you’re able to help, or know someone who might be, please reach out to Elliot Moore at em80@mail.gatech.edu.
Here’s some additional background information:
Georgia Tech’s HyTech Racing team (http://hytechracing.gatech.edu/) is in the finals stages of development of an electric vehicle for the Formula Hybrid competition (http://www.formula-hybrid.org/) on April 27th-30th in Loudon, NH. The Formula Hybrid event is an annual event that is sponsored by IEEE and SAE. Part of the competition process requires that competing vehicles be reviewed by a qualified engineer who can provide feedback on their electrical safety. This is not an actual safety inspection – it’s just an opportunity for the team to get feedback about potential safety issues that would result in disqualification while there’s still time for them to do something about it. It’s not necessary that you become an expert in the competition rules; experienced Formula Hybrid Electrical Inspectors will be available via Skype during the inspection to provide guidance and help.
In order to qualify, an onsite interview to see the vehicle will need to be set up between April 5 – April 11, 2015. The expected time commitment is approximately three to four hours over the course of one or two days.
If you’d like more background, see the attached “Reviewer Solicitation” announcement. I’ve also attached a copy of the pre-event electrical review guide for volunteers.

Dear Section Chair:
Do members in your Section know what the IEEE Member Discounts program does for them? Here are some important facts about this program:
* More than 70,000 IEEE members use at least one of the benefits in the Member Discounts program.
* Member Discounts products and services are supported by contracts between IEEE and providers, vetted by the professional staff and volunteers.**
* Member Discounts help to support the personal and professional needs of IEEE members throughout their careers, and are portable when they change employers.
* Not all Member Discounts insurance plans and product discounts are available in every country; however, members can find many benefits available in a number of countries, with more being added each year. In fact, the insurance program now spans 84 countries!
* Member Discounts are promoted at no cost to any member and more than $5.3 million in annual non-dues revenue from these programs benefit members worldwide.
Please help raise member awareness of the Member Discounts program by doing these few simple things:
Discover what IEEE Member Discounts can offer you. The Member Discounts portfolio consists of insurance products and programs for the home, office and travel, all at excellent group rates and reduced pricing.
