E-News now using IEEE Membership Database IEEE Toronto
E-News is the short email message sent automatically every month to
Section members who have their email address stored in the
IEEE membership database. The purpose of E-News is to alert you to what
is in the
current edition of our Section newsletter. Starting this month,
the email addresses for Section members will be obtained from the IEEE
membership data base. Is your current email address in that database?
Use this link http://www.ieee.org/membership/manage.html to check, then add or
update your email address - use "Update your personal profile" on the
linked page. Or use the link just below that one to obtain or update
your IEEE email alias. Using an IEEE email alias (which points to
your email address) has the added advantage of giving you virus
protection and spam filtering, and it is available free of charge.
By the way, anyone else can subscribe to E-News from our news
page.
