"Looking at the Stats"
Nationally, we continue to outpace 2003 stats. Total professional membership is at 6225 compared to last year's 5535. Last year's renewal percentage, at 80.08%, is comparable with this year's 79.89%. The Region I renewal percentage is 81.18% which is slightly higher than the national average. Region growth rate is 8.84% which is lower than the national average of 10.2%.

National student membership is running slightly behind this time last year. Currently there are 9766 student members compared to 10,223 last year. Both student renewal and growth rates are lagging. Regionally we are seeing the same trend as there are 268 student members which is 66 members less than last year.

Total National membership is at 15,991 as of 1/31/2004, compared with 15,758 at 1/31/2003. That stats are up, however, room for improvement in the area of new membership is indicated.
