ü  A WIE (Women in Engineering) promotion activity was held during the 2012 Spring IT and Comm. (Information Theory and Communications) Workshop on February 2, 2012 in National Chiayi University, Chiayi, Taiwan. http://www.eeeng.ncyu.edu.tw/itcom2012s/index.htm This workshop was attended by approximately 165 participants, including IEEE members and student members in IEEE Information Theory Society and Communications Society. A brief introduction of WIE was given, and one-page WIE information sheets were distributed. Members and student members were invited to participate in WIE through MyIEEE online access. Student members were encouraged to take advantage of the free membership of WIE for student members and to enhance their understanding of WIE issues. The photo below was taken after the activity, featuring some of the female participants in the event.

·  Summary and evidence of work done to improve the value of membership, which leads to retention and growth of members

We have tried to have the IEEE Taipei section GOLD group established recently and hope that we can have a more retention rate in members. Besides, we have also asked the new chair of WIE to have more activities. A big event will be held in the August of 2012. In order to have more student members, we also plan to have thesis awards for different research field. To be eligible for those awards, they have to be student members. Thus, we believe, after those activities, the number of members should increase in this year.
