Senior Member Upgrade

Central Texas Section

"Supersize" your IEEE Membership - Upgrade to Senior Member Status

If you have a baccalaureate degree in engineering and seven or more years of professional experience you are eligible to apply for upgrade to Senior Member Grade. Complete upgrade information, including requirements can be found at:
http://www.ieee.org/membership/upgrade.html

There are many reasons why you should consider upgrading your membership. Some of the benefits include:

The professional recognition of your peers for technical and professional excellence.
An attractive fine wood and bronze engraved Senior Member plaque to proudly display.
Up to $25.00 gift certificate toward one new Society membership.
A letter of commendation to your employer on the achievement of Senior Member grade (upon the request of the newly elected Senior Member.)
Announcement of elevation in Section/Society and/or local newsletters, newspapers and notices.
Eligibility to hold executive IEEE volunteer position.

We know that many eligible members never take the time to apply for Senior Membership, either because they think the requirements are too high or they think it would take too much time. We would like to show you that neither of these reasons should be an obstacle.

First of all, the basic requirement for Senior Membership is 10 years in the profession with 5 years of significant performance. Significant performance can include responsibility for, or major contribution to, important scientific or engineering work, publication of engineering or scientific papers, books or inventions, development of courses and related activities. Most engineers with 10 years in the profession will meet these requirements. Details and examples are given on the IEEE web site:
http://www.ieee.org/organizations/rab/md/smprogram.html#role

Secondly, your application can be done quickly. The IEEE web site has forms for electronic submission of applications and the required references.
