As the membership chair for the section I dread the end of February. This is when IEEE runs what they refer to as the ‘terminator’ program, a software routine that sweeps membership database looking for members that have renewed their membership. Any member that has not renewed their membership is placed in an inactive state. Many sections including Hampton Roads lose as much as ten percent of membership at this time. The significance is that inactive members miss the information they have come to depend. This includes emails and publications.
If you have not already done so, please submit your renewal before the end of February. Membership renewals can be made online at myieee.
By the way, life members should do this too. You may not need to pay but returning your renewal is the only way that IEEE has to keep you on their roles.
