Ottawa Section - Membership Upgrade
- last updated 12 June 2003


To be eligible for upgrade from Member to Senior member, you should have at least 10 years professional practice in a field which the IEEE recognizes and you should also have at least 5 years of significant performance in this area. You need IEEE members (preferably Senior members) as references for upgrades, which takes quite some time and cannot be speeded up.

One suggestion is that you attend an Ottawa Section meeting, meet people face to face. A senior member cannot ethically talk to you on the phone and then write a reference for you; the person must be someone you know. If you don't know any senior members (are there any within your company that know you?) you could attend some Ottawa Section functions to meet some. You can reach the Ottawa web page to checkout their calendar through the IEEE Canada web page www.ieee.ca

All the forms for SM are available on the IEEE web page at:
