EDS members are currently being offered the option of making a one-time payment of $30 to become a "permanent" member of EDS. The only requirement to become a permanent EDS member (besides the $30 fee) is to maintain your IEEE membership.
Current IEEE and EDS members are able to request this option via their 2002 IEEE membership renewal bill. IEEE members who are not members of EDS can also use their 2002 renewal bill to obtain permanent EDS membership. In addition, non-members of the IEEE are also able to request this option by completing the 2002 IEEE/EDS membership application form. We encourage you to take advantage of this EDS offering and benefit. This option is not available to students or EDS affiliate members.
