EDS members are currently being offered the option of making a one-time payment of $25 to become a "permanent" member of EDS. The only requirement to become a permanent EDS member (besides the $25 fee) is to maintain your IEEE membership.
Current IEEE and EDS members are able to request this new option via their 1999 IEEE membership renewal bill. IEEE members who are not members of EDS can also use their 1999 renewal bill to request permanent membership. In addition, non-members of the IEEE are also able to request this option by completing the appropriate section of the 1999 IEEE/EDS membership application form. We encourage you to take advantage of this EDS offering and benefit. This option is not available to IEEE student or EDS affiliate members.
