Mega Goal
Membership Growth Strategy Aligned with New MGAB Direction
(FOCUS On MEMBERS)
Our membership numbers have been increasing at a moderate rate.
New Directions
Enhance Professional Development Activities to respond to Industry needs. Cooperation with IEEE/EAB with Schools Programs.
Expanded Distinguished Speaker Tour Program that appeal to industry
(Three tours a year corresponding to geographical).
New Directions
The “Canadian Review" focuses on technical articles of interest to Canadians. A new direction is to publish non-technical articles dealing with issues from a Canadian point of view. Examples: * Retirement Planning * Transition Between Jobs * Job Opportunities
* Taxation IssuesSenior Members Elevation DrivesCentral Resource Assistance for
