Your IEEE Membership ! The following membership grades
exist; Student Member, Associate Member, Member, Senior Member, Fellow,
and Honorary Member. IEEE Society Affiliates are not IEEE members
but can apply to join. Student Members are those members in
full-time attendance in an accredited University programme and who
automatically become Members following graduation; likewise, Community
College Student Members automatically become Associate Members.
Associate Members can apply to become Members. Members can apply or be
nominated to become Senior Members. Senior Members must be
nominated to be elected as Fellows by the IEEE Board of Directors.
The nomination process for Senior Member and Fellow grade includes
references. Honorary Members are individuals who do not normally qualify for
IEEE membership and who are elected by the IEEE Board of Directors for
some unique reason. The Life Member designation is automatic and
applies to all grades of membership - it indicates a combination of age
and continuous membership in the IEEE. In any distinguished professional
organization, higher grades of membership denote professional advancement of
the individual and add value to one's resume and reputation.
While there is a special effort to help Associate members this month,
all of our viewers are encouraged to join or to upgrade their membership.
The application and nomination process is straightforward, fully
described, and can be done directly from this web site.
All the links to the convenient online web forms that you might need
are at the top of our membership page. Upgrading does not change
your membership dues! Why not see if you qualify right now... and upgrade
for the new year.
