FOCUS ON SAMPE EUROPE - MEMBERSHIP ASPECTS - A STATUS REPORT

摘要

(Editors' note: This is for many an intriguing subject. Moreover, the last such review was put out sometime ago - measured in years. No less than three new European chapters have been created since the last look at this subject. Thus it will be rewarding to consider membership developments and characteristics anew. For one thing, steady growth has resumed, but how that growth manifests itself varies considerably Bear in mind that these figures are themselves "moving targets", continually varying to some extent, but they do serve to illuminate). It is unusual that a chart forms the centerpiece of a report from Europe. The reason it does now: besides presenting basic data, it facilitates comparisons; moreover charts excel at doing that concisely. Much regarding Europe's SAMPE membership is evident from even a cursory inspection of this chart, but a few observations may help clarify and reveal various aspects.
