In 2010, one of the past activities is that operational manual and Regional activities about Life member were posted on the R10 web site for accessing information easily.
Furthermore, Information/promotional s were sent to section chairs & LMs in R10.
Last year, I visited Tokyo Section and Kansai sections and had meetings with the section chair for encouraging formation of LMAGs.
As a result, the new LMAG in Tokyo section was formed in June and Kansai section positively has considered the formation. Kansai section is preparing for forming of LMAG.
The other activity is that trying to keep to key activities and points.

8. Proposed Activities – 2011 Highlights
MD Publicity Project
- Encourage to create events for membership development publicity.
Senior Membership Elevating Project
- Encourage to Sections
Needs to promote e-membership more
Next, to achieve these goals,
first, to encourage activation of Life Member committee, I will try to closet link and contact with members of LM committee. I briefly explain about regional LM committee for understanding. Membership of the Regional Life Members Committee is made up from the Life Member Group Chairs in their respective Sections. So, I will contact with LMAG chairs at need through the internet.
And, to recognize importance of life members, life member committee believes that keeping LMs active and engaged is a key component to success of the IEEE in local IEEE activities. Also, to achieve this goal, support activities of Life Members to be role models for IEEE Members and potential Life Members. For this, try to have closet connection between Student Activities Committee, Membership Development, LM Committee, Local society and LMs.

9. Try to closet link and contact with members of LM Committee
Contact with LMAG chairs regularly
Keeping LMs active and engaged is a key component to success of the IEEE in local IEEE activities
Encourage the formation of LMAG
Continuously, to encourage the formation of LMAG, I contact Kansai Section for helping the formation of LMAG.
Also I will have opportunities to visit or send information/promotional s to sections which are qualified to have a LMAG
For example, the sections are Victorian, Sendai, Nagoya, Hong Kong, etc.
Lastly, to support various activities of the existing LMAGs and newly formed LMAG,
I will suggest specific examples of activities (Activity Query list) for various and exciting activities such as seminars, lectures, social events and so on.

10. Proposed Budget – 2011 MD Publicity Project Incentive ($1,500)
Senior Membership Elevating Incentive ($1,000)
Section Growth Incentive ($1,500)
Encourage the formation of LMAG ($1,500)
Plan to visit at least two Sections for promotion of Membership development and LM activity ($2,000)
Proposed budget in 2011 is estimated at approximately $2,000.
Through 2009, visiting the sections and discussing face to face for encouraging formation of LMAGs is more effective than contacting by .
So I plan to visit at least two sections and each visiting budget will be $1000 each.

11. Thank you.
Before finishing my presentation, I would like to say something to you about life members.
I think becoming Life members is our future. That is, you are possible to be life members in the future. Therefore, I wish you may have a little concern about life membership.
Thank you for listening.
