2016 8 191 1502 622 39 2362 4064 6426

Summary and evidence of work done to improve the value of membership, which leads to retention

and growth of members

Section Membership has grown after we have appointed a Chair-membership activities. This is

visible in the growth of professional members.

As part of Section Future Directions Committee recommendations, it has been suggested to hold

activities targeted specifically towards each segment, instead of the one size fits all approach

currently prevalent. Sufficient awareness has been created among all the chapters and affinity

groups. This has led to brand new programs of “Research Forums” that are being conducted

specifically for GSMs. Hot topics workshops have been conducted that are members only, thus

highlighting the benefit of memberships. Chair Membership distributed chapter specific

presentations to each chapter so they can independently speak from the ppt at their events.

2018 plans including holding a special flagship event under each society chapter that is a Section

Society Congress of that society with a set of events along with a flagship talk. The first one held

by Hyderabad Section - Computer Society chapter in first week of 2018 was a blazing success

with tremendous interest in members. For 2018 a membership development committee will be

formed. With three subsections, each subsection has been asked to identify a Chair membership

development. IEEE Hyderabad Section continuous efforts was to demonstrate Value of IEEE

programs and the breadth of knowledge with exposure given. This Value demonstration really

made the difference in increasing the membership voluntarily.

Membership development is perceived as a lateral activity under part of every society and affinity

group therefore all activities have been merged as part of the organizational unit conducting the

event. No L31 was filed separately for membership activities. No special budget head was

assigned.

C.5 Best Practices of your Section (which you would like to share with other

Sections for the benefits of members)

IEEE Hyderabad Section has been continuously involved in introspecting on its own practices and

guidelines and taken advantage of its very large volunteer base in evolving its practices. Some of the

key practices instituted by the Section are:

Constitution of a Future Directions Committee to look into the Section Vision, Mission,

Goals, Objectives and methodologies to achieve them – further details are in Part D

below.

Active involvement of Chapter Chairs and Subsection executives in Section deliberations

– the monthly SEC meetings see large attendance. In addition, the SEC meetings are

open for online participation via webex. This way, Subsections and Chapter

representatives who are unable to travel to the venue, or wish to be spared of the

additional time and effort that takes, have been able to attend the meetings via two-way

video and audio streams.

Active participation of industry volunteers – almost all chapters have active volunteers in

their execom from the industry.

41

Encouragement to Chapters to institute an annual Flagship event

Inclusion of a brief IEEE pitch and membership development effort in each Chapter

event

Effort to increase Society membership by providing preferential pricing, and in cases

exclusive participation, to Society members in Chapter workshops

Annual face-to-face event involving all Section, Subsection, and Chapter committee

members to reinforce processes, impart basic training on the use of vtools, and alignment

to Section Vision and Mission

C.6 Problems anticipated and suggestions for solutions, if any

IEEE Hyderabad Section has following suggestions to make things better

A problem the Section is facing is on a sizeable number of Student Branches that are

dormant. To remedy this – our constant effort is to revive the Student Branch Chapters

by working with respective schools. However, there are some colleges which are not

operational, we are working with respective Schools. Additional volunteers have been

placed in the Students Activities Committee with separate representatives from different

geographical areas within the Section in order to better reach out to the Student

Branches. This should be continuously monitored and revived.

A common problem is the retention of student members as regular members following

their graduation. It is seen that the Value Proposition of IEEE membership is different

for students Vs corporate employees. A remedy identified is to focus on industry

participants in Section and Chapter events and provide for the needs of fresh entrants

into the industry.

It is observed that some of the chapters were unable to raise funds and grants to drive

programs. Section feels putting up some formal guidance tutorials in raising grants by

every chapter and ensure they get adequate support in delivering innovative, social

beneficial and humanitarian programmes to the community.

In the area of Conferences technically co-sponsored by the Section, there are a number of

challenges faced, including that of maintaining the IEEE brand, quality and originality of

the material, and obtaining sufficient sponsorship and attendance. The Section has

instituted a Conference Committee to oversee acceptance of technical co-sponsorship of

conferences, and has laid out guidelines for the proper running of the conference

including recommendations of the constitution of the Technical Programme Committee

with participation of Section and Chapter volunteers.

42

PART D - GOALS AND PLANS

IEEE Hyderabad Section instituted a Future Directions Committee (FDC) under the leadership of C

Satish to examine, introspect, and put forth the Section’s Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives that

would guide all activities of the Section in the years to come. The FDC collected feedback from all

members on their expectations from IEEE and their other views. A summary of the FDC report and

the guidelines issued is reproduced below.

A Time to Shape Our Future

C. Satish, Chairman – FDC Committee 24 Jan 2018

It is necessary for any non-profit organisation to take a look once in a decade or so to see what

changes are needed in its strategy to fulfill its vision and mission. IEEE calls it strategic planning. For

such a strategic planning, IEEE Hyderabad Section Executive Committee formed a Future Directions

Committee (FDC) on 16 October 2016. This committee consists of about 15 members & includes 5

Past Section Chairs, few younger members and few current SEC members. Mrs. Supriya of TCS is the

committee’s facilitator.

FDC’s Terms of Reference are

Prepare a Vision and Mission Statement.

Identify the Section’s Goals and priorities.

Suggest a strategy for realizing the above.

IEEE Hyderabad Vision and Mission is as follows:

MISSION:

TO PROVIDE A PLATFORM FOR KNOWLEDGE SHARING, NETWORKING, AND

CAREER DEVELOPMENT TO THE LOCAL TECHNICAL COMMUNITY.

VISION:

TO BE AN ESSENTIAL RESOURCE FOR THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN

SPECIFIC FIELDS OF INTEREST OF IEEE FOR THE BENEFIT OF MANKIND.

In simple words Mission is the purpose. Vision is a picture of desired future. Goals, strategy and plans

should emanate from the above and need to be in alignment with mission and vision by all the

constituents of the Section like Chapters, AGs. Mission is the guiding star for all our plans and

activities.

D.1 Continuation of project/activity in progress and their implementation

plans

IEEE Hyderabad Section is meticulously planning events for every class of IEEE members and putting up

the programmes which are contemporary in nature. Every Society, Joint Chapters, Affinity Groups, Student

Chapters are putting up constant efforts to drive the same through

Technical Seminars

Webinars

Contests and Hackathons

Workshops

Symposiums

Professional Development Programs

Summits

Student Congress Events

D.2 Goals and Future Plans

Based on Future Direction Committee guidance, following Goals are worked upon by IEEE Hyderabad

Section

Goal 1: To Develop and Promote Industry Engagement

43

To promote industry engagement

Measures -

Driven through society, take feedback as to desired events, along with industry conduct events in

proximity

IEEE section should be one of the professional bodies that Govt. seeks advise from, and be

invited to be part of any Govt. initiatives e.g. Photonics Valley corporation.

Promote continuous education (certifications).

Change the branding to show that it is for industry only.

Promotion of awareness of relevant IEEE Standards to the industry (driven by the Chapters).

Promote to management of the companies to support IEEE involvement.

Collaboration with local bodies for training based on IEEE content and standards.

Let there be an IEEE Roadshow which goes to various industries– focused on IEEE, multiple

components of various societies

Increase success rate of entrepreneurship

Measure –

Promoter technological mentoring to entrepreneurs

IRC will focus on TES with the help of the Chapters

<ref Bangalore section>

Collaborate with technology makers to provide the inputs on how to use their technology for

business solutions.

Goal 2: To increase the effective volunteer base.

Measure: Pool of 50 active volunteers at any given time

Make volunteering easier – use technology procedures,

Ask for volunteers- surveys

Proactively Send IEEE volunteer material to each member (people have not used available

material) – training, also send to HR and other similar bodies in an org

Setup a volunteer identification committee.

Put in place Mechanism of Recognition of professionals from engg. community

Increase volunteers from industry members

Recognition of volunteers – by local body, in a social with FAMILY members

Each volunteer to find an understudy (succession planning)

Reduce volunteer inability to volunteer.

Operations manual -- Have induction, give clarity on volunteer role

Volunteer empowerment – feeling that they are making a difference, hearing them.

Retain existing volunteers– should not feel discouraged.

Increase presence on social media.–recognition on Hyd site/page. People should see.

Classify Volunteers generic volunteers, vs. for specific events-

Clarify work expectations & duration – certification is guaranteed, award performance

Match interest and motive for volunteer

Convenience and potential of volunteers

An event for volunteers where we describe volunteers

Grow volunteers by regular call for volunteers, evaluate performance,

Handover of work from prev. set of volunteers to new set.

44

Easy and friendly administrative procedures.

D.3 Any innovative ideas to make IEEE more creative and value added for

sustaining the membership retention and recruitment goals.

Following Goals were planned to sustain membership retention and drive higher recruitment

Goal 3: To increase technical Society membership

Measure: 10% Increase society membership in 2 years

Offer local incentives- discounts for local events. Early bird discounts

Reach out membership development from industry- absence of industry

Target IEEE members who are not society members through awareness– they do not know

benefits of society.

Ask what they want – by society, Identify topics broad topics that the professionals are interested

and conduct programs in that – through survey etc.

Increased access to digital libraries specific to society

Facilitate change in organizational culture in the organizations through petitions to regulatory

bodies. E.g. DRDO – 25K provided for professional, so this is used in appraisals.

Popularize benefit of the society– beyond the society only, communications not reached out to the

entire IEEE community. 1000 prof. members out of 5000 members. So the 4000 members do not

get any society information.

Chapter must organize one good conference of that society once in two years.

Promote society and events through social media.

Demo society membership at a physical location – IEEE Café

Recognition from local society chapter – volunteer or member.

Chapter Promotes society activities in the Student branch.

Goal 4: To Sustain membership of students even after their transitioning to full members

Measure: current 25% retention… Target- 50% retention

Evangelize importance of being full member

More Student Transition & Elevation Program (STEP) events with measurable outcomes.

Promote membership afresh, not talk of “transition”. See benefits as any other professional

membership. Focus only on increasing professional membership. As part of ongoing efforts to

increase membership.

More contests like all India Student Project Contest– which is more like an Academia-Industry

interaction.

Mentor network – needs to be publicized and strengthened

Evangelize IEEE membership among the industry

Faculty advisors and mentors have to be educated to promote

Challenge: Jump in member fees from ~$27 to ~$80.

Focus on GSM (masters, or PhD students)

D.4. Business Plan for Sustainable Growth and Financial Stability.

IEEE Hyderabad Section promoting the VOLT for Volunteer Leadership both for academia and industry.

Also focusing on Grants to drive high quality engaging programs with the participation of industry. This

helps to enable sponsorship and make the entire channel of programs accessible for the entire community

Concluding Remarks-

45

The recommendations of Future Directions Committee are given to the Section Executive Committee on

21 Jan 2018. The SEC will communicate them to 1. Section members and 2. Chapters, AGs and

Subsections and start a dialogue with them through various channels like newsletter, web site and

direct mail. The objective is to develop detailed measures, procedures, priorities to set up to reach the

goals. The SEC will assign responsibilities for implementation. The main criterion for approving and

continuing all proposals will hereafter be whether they satisfy the Sections mission. The SEC will

monitor performance and results. Mission and vision statements are long term, but goals and measures

can be modified and given up (where they don’t work) even in the short term.
