Group: Life Members Group

Offizielles Statement von IEEE: “IEEE Life Membership is an official recognition of a strong and sustained commitment to IEEE. Life Members groups participate in educational excursions, work together to mentor students, and improve their communities.”

Wer ist IEEE Life Member? Wenn die Summe aus Lebensalter und Mitgliedsjahre größer 100 ist (und man älter als 65 ist), dann wird man automatisch IEEE Life Member.
Der große Vorteil: man muss nie wieder Mitgliedsbetrag zahlen

Ziele von LMAG Österreich:

Die Erfahrung der langjährigen Mitglieder als Mentoren für Studenten und Young Professionals nutzen.

Den Kontakt innerhalb der Life Members zu fördern

Details zu den Veranstaltungen auf der IEEE-Austria-Homepage -> Events

Wer Interesse hat, selbst eine offizielle oder inoffizielle Rolle in der Affinity Group zu
übernehmen, den bitten wir um Info an m.heiss@ieee.org (Interim Chair), da wir möglichst bald Wahlen durchführen wollen.

Besonderheit in Österreich: Auch „Life Member Candidates“ (das definieren wir als jene, deren Mitgliedsjahre ≥ 35 sind und die noch keine Life Members sind), sind herzlich willkommen eine aktive Rolle zu übernehmen. Bei diesen Mitgliedern dauert es ja nicht mehr lange, bis sie selbst Life Member werden
