SOME ACHIEVEMENTS
– As Membership Recruitment and Recovery Committee Chair for 2015 and 2016 I’ve conducted training for MD officers and webcasts monthly during two years. I’ve been invited to speak about membership at Society General meetings as well as in Regional meetings (regions 8 and 9).
– As Membership Development Officer in Spain Section, retention went up to reach the 2nd best retention rate among Sections in R8 in 2012
– As R8 MD Chair, we had the highest increase in retention among all Regions in 2012-2013, and R8 was one of only two Regions to increase recruitment. This was in part thanks to the campaigns for recruiting in conferences, and to the clever use of SAMIEEE to keep Section MD officers updated about the current needs.
– As member and chair of the Web & Information Committee of the Industrial Electronics Society, I helped develop a volunteer-driven submission system for conferences that now manages more than 6000 submitted manuscripts per year
– As R8 MD Chair, I organized two successful MD workshops for new officers in London and Dubai, where volunteers learned the job of MD officers, as well as the tools.
– As Spain Section Chair, I championed the creation of the first Students, WIE and YP annual congress (there was a student branches congress before), with great success; the two first SIGHT groups in the Section were created; we supported the Action for Industry initiative, being one of the Sections awarded by R8; established tools to monitor technically co-sponsored conferences to review their technical quality.
