Invest in Yourself: Remember to Renew
The
best investment in a slow economy is yourself. Renew your membership in
the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society. An IEEE survey of engineers’ salaries
in 2001 showed solid-state circuits engineers are the highest paid of
all engineering categories. And, if you agree that the articles in the
Journal of Solid-State Circuits and the news in the quarterly newsletter
are worthwhile, recommend membership to a friend.
SSCS membership has been growing at about 6% to 7% per year, among the best growth rates in IEEE Societies. Between January and February each year about 1,000 members in the United States let their memberships lapse. April is the month that non-United States membership lapses are recorded. All year long former members reactivate and new members join for the first time. Lapsed members miss issues and opportunities. If you forgot to renew you can do it online with a Web account at www.ieee.org/ membership/renewal/.
