Last week I was honoured to receive recognition by the IEEE. I was elevated to the Senior Member (smIEEE) grade. Quote from the letter:
“Only 8% of the IEEE’s approximately 419,900 members hold this grade, which requires extensive experience, and reflects professional maturity and documented achievements of significance” (Peter W. Staecker, IEEE President & CEO)
A very BIG thanks to all those who supported me and provided references for my application!
As well, I am currently volunteering as the Membership Development Chair for the IEEE Vancouver Section. If you would like to join the IEEE you can sign up here. For those in the Vancouver area, I have four $25-off coupons that any person can use when signing up for a traditional IEEE Membership which I can give out.
