EDS Permanent Membership Option

 

---

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 2003 IEEE membership renewal bill. IEEE members who are not members of EDS can also use their 2003 renewal bill to obtain permanent EDS membership. In addition, non-members of the IEEE are also able to request this option by completing the 2003 IEEE/EDS membership application form. We encourage you to take advantage of this EDS offering and benefit. This option is not available to IEEE students or EDS affiliate members.

The 2003 renewal cycle will be the final year that the EDS Permanent Membership option will be available, as it is being discontinued beginning with the start of the 2004 billing cycle (September 2003). Please note that the provision of Permanent Membership will be grandfathered for all current EDS Permanent Members (including those in 2003).
