Notes

Review notes from LG meeting

• Losing members, not getting new members
• Reviewed membership analysis and recommendations
  • Focus on engagement both national and international
  • User group meetings

Adapting this group to be more strategic

• How do we get more group members?
  • Send an email to the Leaders mailing list
  • Need a more diverse membership group in terms of institutions type
• Registry is inaccurate
  • Investigate ways to make more accurate
  • Can we search for VIVO URLs? Not all VIVO sites have VIVO in the URL
• How can we bring aboard new members
  • Make VIVO easier to install and use
  • This would help us with smaller institutions, get more users
  • We have users now who are not members, how we get them to become members?
• Focus on community engagement
  • Find local/regional coordinators for user groups
• Promote membership at the conference
  • Include membership in plenary presentation?
• Include membership updates on VIVO Leadership calls
