Member Profiles* Graduates of the Last Decade 8 Segment 5 Segment 1 Highly educated members whose values do not align well with IEEE and feel little connection. They tend to have language issues and are concentrated in Asia/Pacific, leading to a geographical barrier. Segment 1 Older members whose disengagement stems mainly from a lack of time and lack of interest. They are not inclined to give back to the organization and prefer others to lead it. The IEEE vision is less relevant, but many are using IEEE for insurance benefits. Segment 4 Members (geographically skewed to EMEA) who want to be more involved and hold leadership positions in the future, but do not know how and have not been invited to do so. They feel products and services are difficult to use. Because of this, satisfaction is low and they are the least inclined to renew their membership. Segment 2 Young members who are connected to IEEE’s vision and want to be more involved. Career services, networking, education, and social media/online tools are very important to them. Segment 3 Older members, concentrated in educational institutions, that are satisfied with IEEE and are interested in sharing with others. They are actively involved with both networking and volunteering. *2012 IEEE Member Satisfaction / Segmentation Study
