Speaking to ITPulse, the Vice President- elect, Engr. Olorundare Kunle said he will work with the new EXCO to drive membership through value proposition, stressing that it is when members and non-members see value that they will be encouraged to be more committed or become a member as the case may be.
“If there is no value proposition the drive for membership will not be effective,” said Engr. Olorundare, who is the outgoing Chairman of Protocols & Stardards Working Group of the Internet Society in Nigeria and a senior member of the Institute of Electrical & Electronic Engineers.
According to him, the roadmaps for driving membership will include creation of social media platforms to engage the community and to woo new members.
Apart from that, Olorundare also noted that the Internet Society in Nigeria will be involved in several conferences and seminars in Africa and globally and have regular meeting of ISOC members.
