IEEE Life Members Committee Strategic Plan

The scope and functions of the LMC are broadly stated in its charter.  The Strategic Plan contains specific objectives by which the LMC seeks to be in accord with the charter.

Activities to be supported by the LMC fall within the following charter functions:

• The LMC shall seek ways to encourage continued IEEE activity and involvement by Life members at both local and IEEE levels.
• The LMC should take an active role in encouraging the establishment of Life Members Groups in the Sections so that those who are at a similar stage in their careers can share experiences and find ways to remain active.
• The LMC shall publish a Life Members Newsletter as a means of keeping Life members informed of news of particular interest to them and to provide a forum in which suitable articles may be published. 
• The LMC should encourage Life members to financially support the Life Members Fund. 
• The LMC shall consider suggestions for activities of interest for older members, and it may make recommendations to other IEEE Organization Units and to the IEEE Foundation for policies and activities appropriate for such members.
• Establish by December 2008 a LM Group in each IEEE Section having 100 Life members or more.

The LMC shall approve and authorize disbursements from the Life Members Fund, which is an account of the IEEE Foundation, in accordance with the objectives and procedures of IEEE and the IEEE Foundation.  Projects, which receive Life members funds, are to be consistent with the interests of IEEE Life members.
