Membership Poland Italy Egypt Malaysia Rwanda ISPO Member Societies Throughout the triennium, ISPO revised the guidelines and adopted new application forms for the formation of new ISPO Member Societies. New ISPO Member Societies have been formed in five countries (see map). All ISPO members in a country or region where no ISPO Member Society exists yet are encouraged to join together to facilitate local ISPO activities, promote the profession and participate in ISPO governance through representation on the International Committee. It is very encouraging to see the dynamism and commitment of colleagues, who are keen to build and grow the network of P&O and related professionals in their countries. Interest to form ISPO Member Societies has been received from professionals in ten other countries, so the positive developments are continuing. Membership Developments With over 3,300 members (individual professionals as well as institutions and organizations) at the end of 2012, ISPO represents a wide international multidisciplinary network and provides an efficient platform for timely scientific exchange, debate and communication. ISPO has a retention rate of about 75%. To boost timely renewals, ISPO has undertaken electronic renewal campaigns in 2010, 2011 and 2012. The Society will undertake continued efforts to retain and further grow its membership in developed countries, while also seeking to strengthen its representation in the emerging world. Also, the balance of the different professions that are represented in the organization shall be further enhanced. TOTAL ISPO MEMBERS ISPO has witnessed a fair growth in membership numbers during this triennium (approximately 14% compared to the end of 2009, and approximately 2% compared to World Congress year 2010). Presence of ISPO members has been expanded to almost 100 countries worldwide. Following the above-mentioned approvals of new Member Societies, ISPO counts 52 Member Societies across the globe at the end of 2012. 3500 3400 3300 3200 3100 3000 2900 2800 2700 2600 2009 2010 2011 2012 22 TRIENNIUM REPORT 2010-2013 INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR PROSTHETICS AND ORTHOTICS
