MGA Session 3: Member Engagement and Beyond (Member Access)

On 1 January 2008, the Member and Geographic Activities (MGA) Board replaced the Regional Activities Board (RAB) as the organization responsible for membership and member development at IEEE. The Core Training presentations explained the impetus for the transition underway and provided a view of what MGA success will look like. The MGA Board is a complete change from RAB and a shift in focus to the member. Sections are now part of an organization focused solely on the member and designed to inspire members participation in IEEE.

In this final installment of the Sections Congress Core track training, presented by Gerhard Hanke, Vice Chair of Member Development; and Bill Ratcliff, IEEE Region 3 Director, IEEE leaders were presented with the Member Engagement Concept in detail. The session also details human element and the fact that members need to be engaged in different ways throughout the various needs of their life cycle.
