Promoting networking among members<br />

Adding Value<br />

At the General Meeting on 2 March 2006, the members<br />

approved a new category of membership - Corporate<br />

Members. The corporate market represents a potentially<br />

large, less price sensitive and as yet untapped market<br />

for <strong>NUSS</strong>. The introduction of corporate membership<br />

can also further strengthen the Society’s connections<br />

with the local business community.<br />

The year also saw another key change to membership<br />

policy – transferability of the <strong>NUSS</strong> membership at<br />

a transfer fee of $2,000. Angled as a value-added<br />

service, the Sub-Committee is confident that this<br />

move will benefit inactive members.<br />

Lifestyle activities such as social dancing continued<br />

through the year. Targeting the general membership,<br />

the six bi-monthly dinner and dance events that were<br />

organised enjoyed full-house turnouts. A variety of<br />

dance classes were also held to encourage members’<br />

interest in social dancing.<br />

In the year ahead, the Sub-<br />

Committee will work on finetuning<br />

certain membership<br />

policies with the aim of<br />

making <strong>NUSS</strong> a dynamic<br />

society that keeps abreast<br />

of the evolving needs of its<br />

graduate members.<br />
