Senior Members
Senior Member is the highest grade of membership that IEEE members can apply for and recognizes outstanding career achievements. It is a mark of distinction and is highly regarded not only within IEEE but by technological industries and companies around the world. PELS encourages all to learn more about the eligibility requirements and benefits of being a Senior Member.
Benefits
- Ability to refer other candidates: Senior Members can serve as a reference for other applicants for senior membership.
- Announcements: Announcements of elevation can be made in a Section/Society and/or local newsletters, newspapers, and notices.
- Leadership Eligibility: Senior Members are eligible to hold executive IEEE volunteer positions.
- Letter of Commendation (upon request): A letter of commendation will be sent to an employer on the achievement of the Senior Member grade.
- Plaques: Since 1999, all newly elevated Senior Members receive an attractive fine wood with a bronze engraved plaque that can be displayed for clients, colleagues, and employers to see. The plaque is mailed at least 12 weeks after elevation. We now also have a plaque status page that members should view to see the status of shipment: https://www.ieee.
