PROCEDURE FOR IEEE MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION

In order to make the benefits of IEEE membership more readily available to the international
engineering community the Board of Directors of the IEEE has recently approved an amend-
ment to the Bylaws reducing the number of references required on applications for admis-
sion or transfer to Member and Senior Member grades.
For the Member grade - 3 references are required of either
Fellow, Senior Member or Member grade.
For the Senior Member grade - 3 references are required of
either Fellow or Senior Member grade.
For the grade of Associate, the number of references required continues to be only one, of
either Member, Senior Member or Fellow grade.
Student membership privileges are now extended to any student enrolled in an institutional
course of study related to IEEE fields of interest, provided he is carrying at least 30% of a
normal full-time program.
THE BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP
* Monthly receipt of IEEE SPECTRUM as a part of dues. (Students have the option of
receiving either SPECTRUM or the STUDENT JOURNAL.)
* Eligibility to join one or more of the 31 IEEE Groups and receive their TRANSACTIONS
and JOURNALS.
* Conference Records, Standards, Translated Journals and Membership Directory at special
rates.
* Attendance at conferences and technical meetings in many countries.
* Participation in local IEEE Section meetings and activities.
* For Students, participation in Student Branch activities and student paper prize contests.
For the convenience of engineers outside the United States and Canada, arrangements have
been made for payment of the annual IEEE dues in local currency in the following countries:
France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom. For membership application and
payment details write to your local Section Secretaries:
