 7. Travel Document Service

This service offers "Access From Anywhere to Personal Information."

What happens if you're traveling abroad and lose your passport, or worse, get so sick you can't give the doctor a medical history? This is where a new document-storage service from the IEEE Financial Advantage Program can help. It stores copies of your important papers, including your medical records, for immediate transmission to wherever the information is needed.

 8. Thought for the Day

Methods and technology change, sometimes dramatically. For an example, just look at e-mail. Are you keeping up with technology so it works for you?

 

Wishing you the best,

Mark Lamendola
IEEE-KC Publications Officer
