Due to the transition impact of IEEE’s new business management system, the IEEE provided a one-month grace-period to about 8,300 members who, at the time of running the
Terminator, had (1) a pending service inquiry and (2) initiated, but not completed their online renewal. These members were suppressed from the Terminator process.

The half-year dues period starting on March 1st is a peak recruitment time
It allows people to test IEEE membership for a smaller initial fee
New members pay half-year dues when they sign up from 1 March through 31 August
Services commence immediately upon joining and continue through December 31
Members joining in March receive a bonus of 4 months of extra service above and beyond the six months they are paying for

Appoint active MD Officers in your section

IEEE REGION 8 MEMBERSHIP ACTIVITES, R8 Meeting Malta, April 2008
Membership Development at Conferences
IEEE sponsored and cosponsored Conferences are excellent occasions to promote IEEE and Society memberships by organizing a Membership Development Desk at the Conference
This activity should be performed jointly by the local Section and Regional MD Officers, the Region Conference Coordination Committee, the Chair (or an appointed member) of the Conference Organization Committee and the IEEE Staff
The local Section and Region MD Officers in cooperation with the Region Conference Coordination Committee should identify IEEE sponsored and cosponsored conferences in countries covered by the local Section and the Region
IEEE REGION 8 MEMBERSHIP ACTIVITES, R8 Meeting Malta, April 2008
MD Desk
An MD Desk or Booth shoud be operated near the Conference Registration Desk as an IEEE Information Center
The MD Desk should be equipped with IEEE banners and flags, promotional material including application brochures, IEEE magazines and give-aways (pencils, candies)
The local Section or Region MD Officer with the Conference organizers should arrange that the MD promotional material from Piscataway should be requested and received on time
If possible, a video about IEEE should be running. The Desk should also include demonstrations of IEEE online facilities
In cooperation with the Registration Desk, if possible, there should be a possibility to join IEEE online. As a general rule, conference participats joining IEEE at the Conference should pay the reduced fee for members
The Desk should be attended by IEEE volunteers familiar with IEEE advantages and activities. The local Section and its MD Officer together with the Conference organizers should look for volunteers. Student members are often interested to staff desks

Membership Promotion and Recruitment at IEEE Conferences worldwide
In the ideal case, the Society should inform the local Section and Region about its plans.
Promotion arrangements could be made jointly between local Section, R8 MD, R8 CCSC, and the Conference Organizing Committee.
Societies should make Pre-conference announcement for non-members to join IEEE and pay the lower Conference registration fee for members.
Conference registration is usually done online, a link should be given to join IEEE online

Membership Promotion and Recruitment at IEEE Conferences worldwide
IEEE Goal to promote and recruit IEEE membership at all conferences
IEEE BoD to oblige TAB / Societies to arrange IEEE promotion activities at all Society conferences worldwide
