What is IEEE Life Member?
Life Member is applicable only to a IEEE member who has attained the age of 65 years and who has been a member of IEEE for such period that the sum of his/her age and his/her years of membership equals or exceeds 100 years. Members who qualify each year will be notified by mail in the fourth quarter of the qualifying year. "Life" status will be effective on 1 January of the following year.
Life Members represent an invaluable repository of personal experiences involving the history of areas of interest to IEEE.

Life Member Affinity Group
A Life Member Affinity Group is a local unit of an IEEE organizational unit, constituted by IEEE members who have obtained Life Member Status and established by petition, concerned to represent and fulfill the needs of the local IEEE Life members. LM Groups can help to enable LMs to retain active IEEE associations, contribute to the social good in their communities, advance IEEE´s professional interests and enjoy each other's company.
The Life Member Committee believes that keeping Life Members active and engaged is a key component to the success of the IEEE in local IEEE activities. In Region 10, there are only two Life Member Affinity Groups- Bombay Section and New South Wales (NSW) Section. Therefore, it is required to encourage forming more Life Member Groups in the Region 10.
