Chairing an EMBS Chapter often involves selling the value of being a part of the EMBS family.  Here are some of the more frequent situations when you should articulate the value of EMBS and of your EMBS Chapter:

  • Bringing new officers on board
  • Inviting people to attend your EMBS events
  • Encouraging people to become IEEE-EMBS members

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some statements that describe the value of joining EMBS. Feel free to modify them to reflect your own perspectives or make it resonate in your own words.



 

STANDING OUT PROFESSIONALLY

 

IEEE's EMBS offers services that enable an individual in the field of medicine and biology engineering  to stand out significantly from the crowd of other professionals.  The reasons are that EMBS' mission is to help keep each individual's knowledge modern, update, and aware of the latest developments.  It offers a worldwide network of professional connections in the field and a strong support system during professional transitions.   All these services are offered in the local Chapters. 

 

 

 

 

MANAGING A CAREER IN A GLOBAL SETTING

 

The field of biomedical engineering is booming, and is at the beginning of a fantastic "S" curve of industry development that is deploying itself globally.  EMBS is taking an active role in shaping the future of biomedical engineering.  Therefore being part of EMBS allows an individual to stay informed and ride this "S" curve successfully as global changes are shaping the future of this industry. 

 

 

 

 

 BECOMING PART OF THE LEGACY

 

EMBS manages several biomedical publications that promote the talents and discoveries of biomedical professionals.  Its focus is on providing an opportunity for each EMBS member to leave a legacy and a documented imprint on society through the share of knowledge in publications. 

 

 

 

 

TOUCHING SOMEONE's LIFE

AS AN EMBS OFFICER

 

Becoming active as a leader in an EMBS Chapter is the privilege of participating in an act that will touch someone's life.  Attendees of Chapter events come with their own sets of goals and aspirations, or will have questions about diseases or impairments that are affecting themselves or people close to them.  In each speaker event organized, or networking forum sponsored by a Chapter, someone will leave with a new hope, a new idea, or a new contact that will impact this person for a long time.  Being a Chapter officer is one of the greatest honors someone could be offered.
