Membership Services
Membership services include; joining the IEEE, renewing one's membership,
adding optional services, elevating one's membership grade, and updating
personal information in the IEEE member database. Today, these are all
performed on-line using the following links to the IEEE operations center.
If you wish to apply, or
nominate someone else, for Senior Member elevation, please use this
specific
link.
IEEE Web Accounts - as members we need to have an IEEE web account
in order to log on to the IEEE membership web site and review or modify
our member services profile. Web accounts are also needed to access many
member-only services available on the web. If you already have an IEEE web
account, make sure you keep your logon name and password handy. If you do
not have an IEEE web account, you can register on-line and obtain one -
just click on the graphic. It is important that we keep our logon name and
password confidential so that others can not interfere with our IEEE
membership records.
Update Your IEEE Membership Records - as members we need to keep
our membership records up to date in the IEEE database. Click on the
graphic to review or modify your member services profile. Your address
must be correct for you to receive mail from IEEE (like Spectrum and the
IEEE Canadian Review). Your e-mail address must be kept up to date so you
continue to receive news alerts etc.
The Personal: Home and Auto Group Insurance - Benefit from
exclusive advantages and preffered rates on your property insurance. Click on the
graphic to get quotes, shop for property insurance, and find out how much
is your property worth. You can also set renawal reminders and get services
online.
IEEE E-mail Aliases are available, by clicking on the graphic.
There is no charge and is only for members (any grade) of IEEE. The two
primary benefits are; (a) protection against e-mail viruses that can cause
serious damage, and (b) a permanent e-mail address with a professional
connotation that remains the same as you change internet service
providers, employers, or where you live - you modify your alias target
whenever your real e-mail address changes. Here is a usefull hint - make
your return address in your email program to be your IEEE alias to expand
your protection when folks respond to your reply.
Please note - while the
IEEE Toronto Section (volunteers) will do their best to help you to get
the most out of your IEEE membership, they can not provide individual
references for employment, elevation to Senior Member grade, and other
such situations where a degree of personal knowledge is required. If you
need such references, you may wish to make such personal contacts over
time by becoming a regular participant at our Section, Chapter, Branch,
and other meetings.
Why Become a Member ?
If you are not currently a member of IEEE and you are either involved or
simply interested in Electrical, Electronic, or Computer Engineering, or
in the associated technologies, we invite you to consider becoming a
member. Here are some of the benefits of membership:
All IEEE members
- receive an award winning magazine
"Spectrum" every month which features top quality articles that span the
IEEE's wide range of interests. Check out the
on-line edition.
- receive the news suppliment to Spectrum,
called "The Institute" which is mailed quarterly with web editions every
month - the focus is on newsworthy items of interest to members
worldwide. Check out the
on-line edition.
- can access to the IEEE
on-line catalog and store and receive
member discounts on a wide range of technical materials.
- can join any of IEEE's over 30 technical
societies, receive society member discounts
for publications and at conferences, participate in technical working
groups, standards committees, and so on.
IEEE Canadian members
- additionally receive a unique high
quality magazine (three times a year), as well as our electronic
newsletter - check out the
on-line edition.
Being an IEEE member has
another benefit on a professional level - it is the pride of being part of
the most prestigious technical member society in electrical and computer
engineering - in the entire world. On a more personal level, it is the
reward of interacting with some of the finest people there are, sharing
experiences, receiving the benefit of knowing the people who know - and
will share with you. Here is a link to
join on-line if you so choose.
