Keeping your Contact Information Up To Date - Information for New
Orleans Section Members
As IEEE and the New Orleans Section move
increasingly to electronic communication, it is important that your
e-mail address and other contact information be correct. The
Section receives information about its members from IEEE
headquarters, so if their information is incorrect, your Section
Bits and other e-mail may not be delivered properly. To check or
change your e-mail or other contact information, go to
UPDATE YOUR MEMBERSHIP ONLINE
This will direct you to a page that will allow
you to edit this directly if you have an IEEE Web account (or allow
you to obtain an account, if you do not have one). It also contains
the Member Services telephone number, 1-800-678-4333.
IEEE also provides a valuable IEEE e-mail
alias service free to members. The alias is an e-mail redirector,
which forwards e-mail addressed to your IEEE account to any other
e-mail account you desire. The IEEE alias has several advantages.
Your IEEE alias never changes as long as you remain in IEEE. This
means that if you change e-mail addresses, you simply redesignate
the alias destination account; you never need to notify people who
use the alias that the account has changed. Also, IEEE maintains a
sophisticated and up-to-date virus checking service, which scans
forwarded e-mail for malicious attachments and removes them,
notifying you of what was done. If you do not have an IEEE alias
and want to apply for one, go to

Applying for Senior Membership in IEEE - Information for New Orleans
Section Members
Are
you qualified to be a Senior Member of the IEEE? If so, you should
be recognized for your accomplishments and apply for elevation to
Senior Member grade. Only about 7% of IEEE members hold this higher
grade, and therefore it is a significant distinction. The
requirements are not overly stringent: To qualify for Senior
Membership, "… 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." (from the SM application).
Senior Members are entitled to identify themselves as such. In
addition, they receive a very nice plaque from IEEE recognizing
their accomplishment and, if they wish, IEEE will send a letter to
their employer noting their elevation in grade.
To apply for Senior Membership on
the Web, go to
http://www.ieee.org/organizations/rab/md/smguide.html#Applicant_guide
which will lead you through the
process. The New Orleans Section is eager to be the Entity
Nominator for Section members who qualify. Please send e-mail to
the Section Chair, Dr. Edit Bourgeois, at
section-chair@ieee-neworleans.org before submitting the
application, if you want the Section to support your application or
act as nominator. If you
don’t have Web access, you can contact Member Services at
1-800-678-IEEE (4333)
for a Senior Member
application kit and call Dr. Bourgeois at 504-280-5616. You will
also need three recommendations from Senior Member or Fellow grade
IEEE members. If you are having trouble finding these, please
contact any member of the Executive Committee, and we will gladly
help you find the necessary people. If you have any questions on
the procedure, feel free to contact any Ex-Com member for help.
If you have reached this level of distinction in your career, you
should be recognized for it. Apply for Senior Membership today!
