Life Members – “Experience does not go on retreat”

It is a privilege to be an IEEE Life Member (LM) with so much to contribute back to the engineering community and to the public in general. You are entitled to become a LM when your age is at least 65 and the sum of your age and of your active membership duration reaches 100. Life Members are exempted of IEEE membership fees and pay lower fees at IEEE Conferences (at most – IEEE Student fees).

Most Life Member activities are performed by Life Member Affinity Groups (LMAG), similar to Chapters, established as part of an IEEE Section.

In summary the mission of Life Members Groups is to:

• Enhance and encourage interest in electrical and electronic engineering at secondary and tertiary (college) levels.
• Utilize the vast experience of LMs to impact the general public’s knowledge of electrical and electronic engineering and increase understanding of the role of engineers.
• Foster collaborations in pre-university education and encourage students to consider taking up engineering as a career.
• Promulgate the history of electrical engineering together with information and related technologies.
