IEEE Life Member Groups

In June 2005, the Regional Activities Board approved the IEEE Life Members Committee as a parent organization of Life Member Affinity Groups. Units which were previously formed as Life Member Chapters have been officially established as Life Member Affinity Groups. The IEEE LMC will retain control over these activities but the local units will also receive funding from MGA Board to support these efforts.

The IEEE Life Members (LM) Committee is encouraging the formation of LM Groups in Sections. LM Groups can help to enable LMs to retain active IEEE associations, contribute to the social good in their communities, advance IEEE's professional interests and enjoy each other's company. While many LMs remain active in IEEE projects at various levels of the Institute, the LM Committee believes more LMs will remain involved if there are LM Affinity Groups.

Life Member Groups are a subunit of the IEEE Life Members Committee established upon petition to the Member and Geographic Activities Board & with the cooperation of the Section Chair. The LM Group shall be formed to meet the needs & concerns of the local Life Members.

An information package (Doc, 62KB) on Life Member Group operations is available.
