– Higher Grade Membership (without GSM) Increased 1.5%: 4,534 members

– Undergraduate Increased 4.1%: 3,006 members

– Graduate Students Increased 9.1%: 3,934 members

Total Society Membership: 333,389– Increased +0.6%: 2,005 members

– 21 societies increased by more than 1%

– 12 societies decreased by more than 1%

– 5 societies saw increases or decreases of +/- 1%* all figures are end of January 2013 and reflect the same time period [YoY] for 2012

unless otherwise noted

Society Memberships

Number of individuals with at least one Society membership increased by almost 2%, with no loss in overall memberships– Members gravitating to one ‘home’ Society as publications

are becoming increasingly available from their employers

– To increase the number of members holding multiple Society memberships is positive: to do so without a concurrent loss in overall membership is even more so

It Was A Very Good Year…

2012 sales forecast = $195.2 million– $6.3 million over budget

– 7.6% over 2011

New corporate sales exceeded expectations

Recorded stronger sales in countries spanning the globe

Record-setting efforts in India– Result of hard work, great preparation,

and focused, team-wide execution

Quick to identify, analyze and capitalize upon possibilities in emerging markets

Standards Education 

John Wiley & Sons has accepted IEEE Standards Education Committee-developed proposal to write and publish a book of case studies on modern standardization under the IEEE Press-Wiley imprint.

– requested by university professors around the world

The IEEE Standards Education Committee released the fifth issue of IEEE Standards Education e-Magazine on 30 January 2013 http://standardsmagazine.ieee-elearning.org

Standards Education Workshop at ICCVE conference (Beijing) in partnership with CNIS in December.

Standards Education Track was held as part of the Indicon 2012 conference in Kochi in Dec 2012

– students papers from the IEEE Standards Education Committee grants were presented.

Standards Publications

In 2012, IEEE-SA published its highest amount of pages - ever, just under 20,000.– A primary driver of these numbers (volume and speed) is

the increasing amount of 802 documents published (22 total) and the expedited work associated with them and Smart Grid (SG) documents.

Average time to publication continued to decrease to 8 weeks.

Pre-University Education

EPICS (Engineering Projects In Community Service)

– Currently 40 projects, operating in 14 Countries: Argentina, Belgium, India, Kenya, Mexico, Namibia, Nigeria, South

Africa, Tunisia, Uganda, United States, Uruguay, Zambia, Zimbabwe

More than 100 volunteers involved, working with: 266 University Students and 471 pre-university students

Impacts 90,000 people in communities around the world

TISP (Teacher In-Service Program)

– 4 TISP training workshops slated for 2013 Reach an estimated 250-300 IEEE volunteers

Goal is to reach 600 teachers representing 64,000 students

IEEE Spectrum Redesigns To Better Work In Print and Electronic Form

The new “S” Logo is inspired by the radio spectrum charts

The “S” Logo is designed to work in multiple formats – from the magazine to smartphones

New Web site uses HTML5 so that it works on a varietyof devices – story modules reconfigureto fit your screen

IEEE Computer Society offers professional training programs in emerging areas

IEEE Computer Society now offers TechLeader courses in all new areas: Cloud Compting, Embedded Systems, Multicore and/or Parallel Processing, and New topical areas such as Ethical Hacking.
