What do the stats say?
• Why do most people join IEEE?
• Why is it difficult to retain members?
What did the previous members expect of IEEE?
What did we expect of IEEE when we joined?
Why are we still with IEEE?
So where did we fail our fellow volunteers?
Is it only about mindset?
How do we make them see what we see?
Delhi GINI F2F: January 31st, 2010
Do’s for recruiting new volunteers
Talk about your experiences – convince them with passion
Tell them about IEEE Research, publications
Make them feel valuable – to your student branch, to IEEE
Tell them about GINI – talk about technical innovation,
networking and leadership.
Tell them about success stories in IEEE from people they
know.
Delhi GINI F2F: January 31st, 2010
Don’ts for recruiting new volunteers
Don’t start or end your talk with resumes, certificates and
fests.
Don’t make promises that you’re not sure you can keep.
Don’t brag, be honest about your SB – you might lose a few
members but you’ll get the respect of those who do join.
Don’t talk about things you don’t believe yourself.
