DRAFT—September 2011 Issue FEI Membership Committee Report The results are in for the FEI Canada Membership Survey conducted in May. We had 219 responses (representing 12.2% of the total membership) from 1,785 members across Canada, who received the Survey to complete. Our members stated that the main reasons they join and stay with FEI Canada is the networking and quality of speakers at meetings, followed by continuing education requirements and updates on technical issues. Our members also indicated that they would like to participate in new FEI initiatives such as roundtable discussions or virtual meetings with content experts. The Survey further indicated that the topics members were most interested in were leadership & management, followed by risk management, IT issues and talent retention & executive compensation. Over the summer, FEI Canada will be working with HEC Montreal MBA students to review the Survey results in more detail and prepare a report to define FEI Canada’s value proposition and marketing plan based upon current and future members’ needs and other leading organizations’ practices. The report will be presented at the September FEI Canada Board meeting for full review and discussion. Stay tuned for further news on the Survey and the completed report.
