IEEE-USA OFFERS
FINANCIAL INCENTIVE
FOR U.S. REGION/SECTION MEMBERSHIP GROWTH
In an effort to drive U.S. membership growth in
Regions 1-6, IEEE-USA is offering a financial
incentive that rewards year-over-year
improvements in recruitment of higher-grade,
dues-paying members in IEEE‘s U.S. sections.
IEEE-USA‘s recruitment incentive is financed
through the assessment it receives from U.S.
members. The incentive will work as follows:
First – A Section will first need to maintain
its total higher-grade dues paying membership
count at the same level as the prior year (using
August data). Hence, the first priority is
sustaining or improving member retention.
Second – Upon meeting the first criteria,
qualifying Sections and their Regions would
receive and split a $10 incentive funding for
each higher-grade, dues paying member recruited
above the Section‘s baseline for the prior
membership year. The 50%-50% incentive sharing
encourages an improved MD partnership between
the qualifying Sections and their Region.
Migrating members (those who moved from one U.S.
Section to another) and Life or Honorary Members
(who do not pay dues or assessments) are not
counted toward the recruitment incentive. Higher
grade members recruited on reduced dues status
are counted.
Progress will be reported through the Regional
Membership Development Reports prepared by
IEEE-MGA. Incentive funds will be transferred in
a lump sum amount in the autumn succeeding the
membership year concluding in August.

recruitment incentive, and how you can help,

In addition to this U.S.-wide incentive,
IEEE-USA will also offer a
targeted
incentive of $1,150 to the two U.S. sections
that have the
largest percentage increase in higher-grade
membership or that recruits the
most new higher grade members (not renewals or
transfers between sections) between 1 October 2009
and 31 December 2009.
