If you are interested in becoming a Senior Member of IEEE the Winston-Salem Section can help you. 

What are the benefits of being an IEEE Senior Member?

·         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 positions.

·         Can serve as Reference for Senior Member applicants.

·         Invited to be on the panel to review Senior Member applications

What are the requirements for Senior Membership?

IEEE Bylaw I-105.3 sets forth the criteria for elevation to Senior Member Grade, as follows:

"… a candidate shall be an engineer, scientist, educator, technical executive or originator in IEEE-designated fields. The candidate shall have been in professional practice for at least ten years and shall have shown significant performance over a period of at least five of those years."

It is a lot easier to meet these requirements than you might think.

 If you will send me your resume which includes your educational and professional experience, I will evaluate it and tell you if I feel you meet the requirements.  If in my opinion you meet the criteria, I will nominate you on behalf of the Winston-Salem Section, help you fill out the required forms, and provide the required Senior Member references.
