 Every member must understand the value of
IEEE student membership
 Publicize the S-G-S ( Student Get A
Student campaign )

Recruiting new students to the IEEE
-The Right time
 Prefer half yearly dues-
(between 1st March & 15th August)
 After an IEEE student’s activity
 Accept new registrations for membership
through out the year
 Never run membership drives – so as to
clash with any mid-term exams.
Due importance to membership
renewals

membership
