Roundtable Ideas Discussion (Red or Yellow Dot?)

Left: Madeleine Lowe, Region 1 New Hampshire Section

They talked about how to engage first year members and young members (GOLD) to be more active and participate Section activities.

GOLD Members have been trying to figure out what is the color dot sticker (either Red or Yellow) means on the attendees’ badge. Is yellow dot for GOLD members, and Red for other members? But, Soon’s badge had Red dot!!!

Finally, the answer revealed at the Roundtable Ideas Discussion this afternoon. The attendees were split into 2 groups. And, each group was assigned to discuss and brainstorm the below 4 issues:

Red Dot:

1. Getting the Word Out.

2. Membership -recruitment, retention, engagement (including PACE) - What's different about US?

Yellow Dot:

1. Industrial Relations - getting business to support IEEE

2. Employment - What is IEEE's role in supporting members' careers?
