Membership Committee

The Membership Committee is responsible for reviewing the SPE membership structure, requirements, and dues and recommend changes to Board of Directors as necessary as well as programs related to recruitment, retention and recognition of members.

Expectations

• Participate in monthly teleconferences (because we prefer global representation, some members will find that meetings are held very early or late in the day, depending on the time zone in which they live)
• Attend face-to-face meeting held during SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (if travel permits)
• Contribute to committee activities and brainstorming (approximately 60 hours per year)

Eligibility

• Section leadership experience required, preferably as Membership or Section Chair
• Interest in recruiting and retaining members for SPE
• Knowledge of SPE's programs and services available only to members
• SPE professional membership

Expected Time Commitment

It is not mandatory to physically attend committee meetings although it is encouraged when possible. Much of the committee work can be accomplished successfully through other means of communication (facsimile, email, and teleconference).

• 12 hours participating in monthly teleconferences
• 25-30 hours annually working on committee projects
