It was suggested to have a contact person who will handle membership related queries. Chairman asked present members to come forward as volunteer for the same. Ms. Teena Sharma volunteered herself to serve as contact person or membership. Secretary detailed the responsibility of contact person. He told that contact person should provide all relevant information i.e. URL and fee details to the interested person.

Agenda Item #3: Announcement of upcoming IEEE CIS lecture
Secretary urged to conduct lectures as many as possible by CIS chapter. He advised to contact Principle or Director of colleges for the same. Following to this, Chairman further requested Secretary to provide contacts of these people to the chapter. Secretary suggested to conduct these lectures in nearby colleges. Vice Chairman suggested to pay the travel expense from chapter side.
Secretary came with a proposal to conduct a full day event consists of 4-5 Expert lectures. Chairman suggested full day event can be started with the IEEE CIS introductory lecture followed by the Expert lecture. During the event a membership stall will also be placed where interested people will get the information about membership. Chairman suggested instead of conducting many lectures we should try to have one lecture at one event. Further he detailed the procedure of organising this event. To conduct the event, first a person from chapter will contact the interested institute then institute will be asked to send the mail to the chapter. Request will be discussed and approved by chapter. Once event is conducted, it will be advertised on large scale to build new contacts. Mr. Tarun Maini also supported this idea. Further Secretary suggested to make one person responsible to hold these events. Convener of student CIS activities, Dr. Varshney was asked to give his plan from increasing the membership. Dr. Varshney informed that he has good contacts with PG students as well as colleges in Lucknow where he can conduct the membership drive. He also requested chapter to provide some introductory material related to IEEE CIS society. Secretary suggested him to visit the IEEE CIS homepage for the same. Chairman further emphasised on making personal contact with people by visiting colleges directly and suggesting them to conduct IEEE CIS Expert lecture in their institute. Dr. Varshney welcomed his suggestion and also promised to first try in Lucknow for the same.
Action Item: Convener CIS Student Activities was asked to contact the local colleges as per the discussion and to organise the membership drive.
