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.
All life members must return the annual 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.
