If you are representing your IEEE
Section in an outreach effort to local
corporations to secure meeting space,

post your Section activity announcements, you
can use the following ideas to help set your
outreach plans to action.
-
Determine what your objectives are

actions are appropriate or necessary
Your time is very limited:

data recipient for a list of members
employed at a particular company for an
inside contact
-
Utilize the company
communication pipeline for section announcements
-
Develop an email list to send
announcement communications

Utilize the section newsletter
and web site for announcements
Your time is more flexible:
-
Contact the company’s
public relations/corporate communications department

human resources department for permission
to make IEEE materials available to employees
You have a lot of time available:

Contact CEO’s office to
request an opportunity to provide an IEEE
presentation to company management.
-
Follow-up on questions raised
or interest in IEEE membership benefits
from presentation to company management.
