6. AESS Chapter Officers • ISSUES – SAMIEEE data not correct - Need to Update? - No – SAMIEEE data only correct for individual member data

AESS Speakers to Chapters • Recent visits • Joe Guerci, Northern Colorado/ Pikes Peak – Sponsored by AESS • Jason Fritz – connected travel – Pikes Peak to Dayton • Erik Blasch – Montreal to Mohawk Valley • Results • Speakers helped in the L31 reporting and the chapter coordination and initiatives

9. Chapters News – Mar/Apr • Information for chapters – How to Access Volunteer Content on IEEE.ORG – Society Chapters Listing Report – Inactive Chapters – Dissolved Chapters – vTools.Voting: Online Voting Tool Availability Reminder – vTools News: New Tools, New User Community – Volunteer Training Modules

10. Summary • 1. Active Chapters are involved with industry, students and technology • 2. Marginal Chapters have stale membership and leaders - they need objectives and visits from AESS Board members and Distinguished Lecturers • 3. Inactive Chapters have lost their way due to – economic conditions, – have less than a critical mass (< 50 members since only 20% of AESS Chapter membership attend meetings), – technology shifts, etc. – these Chapters need a rejuvenation program with the support of the local IEEE Section and Region.

11. Chapter Action Items • IEEE AESS Membership Recruitment – Support new AESS Chapters – Encourage students chapters – Coordinate with new members through AESS co-sponsorship of meetings • IEEE AESS Membership Sustainment – Meetings, speakers, AESS support • Motion: – Approve $10K to cover L-31 reimbursements for chapter meetings in 2011
