Life Member Programs
Who is a Life Member? - On January 1 of any year, any member who is
at least 65 years of age and whose "age plus continuous years of membership"
exceed 100 automatically becomes a life member of IEEE. The member is notified
by letter in the preceding fall at the time of the annual dues renewal
mailing.
Advantages of Life Membership - Mandatory basic dues cease, other
charges (e.g. periodicals, conference registrations, etc. are generally lower)
and life members are asked to consider making a voluntary donation to one of
the IEEE charitable entities such as the IEEE Life Member Fund, the IEEE
Foundation, and the IEEE Canadian Foundation.
What's new for life members in Canada?
All life members must return the anual membership renewal form indicating
they wish to continue their membership even though no dues are required. A
contribution to the Canadian or IEEE Foundation can be made using the same
renewal notice; A tax receipt will be issued for donations to the IEEE Canadian
Foundation.
