To:
Region, Section, Technical Chapter, Affinity Group, Student
Branch Chairs
From:
Barry Shoop, 2010 MGA Vice President /MGA
Board Chair
The
2010 MGA Challenge solicits proposals for projects that will deliver tangible
member products, services, and increase the value of IEEE membership in 2010.
Proposals are solicited from committees, Regions, Sections, Chapters, Student
Branches and individuals. The proposal should describe the overall project
concept, clearly identify the value to the member and how the project
deliverable will increase the value of IEEE membership, outline an
implementation plan, and include a detailed budget. Proposals should be
consistent with and support the MGA vision, mission, strategies, and goals and
should not duplicate existing and ongoing projects. Submissions are encouraged
to consider existing data that identifies member input from past Section
Congress recommendations, and IEEE member segmentation data. The target budget
for MGA Challenge projects is less than $25,000 USD.
Proposals
will be evaluated by a team of senior IEEE volunteers and staff. Evaluation
criteria includes but is not limited to:
1. Ability to increase the
value of IEEE membership.
2. Pilot project can be
implemented in 2010.
3. Breadth of member impact
(e.g. across geographies, member lifecycle, and/or industry sectors).
4. Budget ≤ $25,000 USD.
Visit www.ieee.org/mga for additional information
(i.e. submission forms, explanation of 2008 Member Segmentation study).
Proposals
are due by Friday, 2 April 2010.
Proposals
should be submitted electronically to 2010MGAChallenge@ieee.org.
General questions about the challenge can be addressed to mga@ieee.org.
