  Obtain your membership list using SAMIEEE
Student Branch Counselors and Chairs now have access to SAMIEEE, Section/Society Access to Membership Information.

SAMIEEE is a web enabled query tool that allows ad-hoc querying, reporting and downloading of IEEE's membership data. As Student Branch Counselors and Student Branch Chairs can now generate a list of the current Student Branch members.

To access SAMIEEE, use your IEEE web account. The Branch membership list can be used to check the new students who joined IEEE or to contact current members to send them information about activities or verify attendance at a workshop.

Only the officers reported to IEEE Student Services and updated in the database will have access to this tool. For details, please visit the web site or send questions to samieee@ieee.org.
