With the beginning of a new millennium approaching, here's a wrap-up of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society membership. Figure 1 shows active membership in the Solid-State Circuits Society since the beginning as a society to September 1999. The dips in the curve each February are from people in Regions 1-6 being dropped for not renewing their memberships, and again in April, when people are dropped in Regions 7-10 for not renewing. Don't be part of the dip; renew your membership now, if you haven't done so already, to avoid interruption of membership.
Figure 1.
Figure 2 shows what regions SSCS members are located in. The United States is broken into Regions 1-6, Canada is Region 7, Europe is Region 8, Latin America is Region 9, and Asia and the Far East are Region 10.

Figure 3 outlines the breakdown of IEEE grade for SSCS members.

Figure 4 gives an indication of what other affiliations and interests our members have. The chart shows the percentage of members of each IEEE society who are also in the SSCS, along with the percentage of SSCS members also in other IEEE societies.
