OBJECTIVE
To recruit and retain Clinical Data Management professionals as active members of the Society.

GOALS

To increase the Society’s membership and improve member retention. Measurement of this goal will be based on membership as of December 31 each year.
To identify the needs of the membership, ensure that the Board of Trustees is made aware of these needs and implement, facilitate and support initiatives to meet these needs.

METHODS
To reach the above goals, the Membership Committee will utilize a variety of methods including but not limited to the following:

Conducting surveys to determine which services members desire from SCDM.
Recommending new or revision of existing services.
Reviewing Board of Trustees’ objectives to ensure that the membership’s wishes have been considered.
Establishing recruitment programs to target Clinical Data Management professionals.
Recommending other initiatives aimed at increased membership.
Identifying reasons why past members have not renewed their membership (e.g. by analyzing survey results).

The committee will submit all recommendations to the Board of Trustees.

COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP

Members serve on the Committee for a minimum of two years.
The Committee chair is appointed for a period of three years.
The SCDM BOT (Board of Trustees) will ensure there is a Trustee who will be the Membership Committee Liaison.

MEETINGS

Meetings will be held monthly via teleconference. Every attempt will be made to hold one face-to-face meeting in conjunction with the Annual SCDM Meeting.
The SCDM Project Management Association contractor will be used as much as possible and as appropriate to execute committee-sponsored initiatives.
