Hey guys, Yeah I agree with Sean, except instead of focusing on membership I think we should have a bigger focus on ACTIVE IEEE@VU membership. If we can just get people to get interested in the stuff that we do, and if people start getting involved then I think we won't have to sell the IEEE itself and people will begin signing up as official members. Maybe that is what you meant but I just thought I'd clarify. But other than that I agree on everything else. Deep ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean T.
