Who is an IEEE Life Member?

IEEE "Life" status is an automatic process which is based on an individual's membership record to determine if an IEEE member qualifies for Life member status. The member must be at least 65 years of age and have been a member of IEEE or one of its predecessor societies for such a period that the sum of his/her age and his/her years of membership equals or exceeds 100 years. (IEEE Bylaw I-102.2) 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. Contact IEEE Member Services if you have any questions regarding your IEEE Life Member status. Life members represent an invaluable repository of personal experiences involving the history of areas of interest to IEEE.

NOTE: Life members must return their annual renewal forms to IEEE each year (even though there's no renewal fee). Otherwise, IEEE will assume they are no longer interested in receiving IEEE publications or correspondence!
