7. Stepping Up

Step Up to Senior Member.

What does it mean to be a senior member of the IEEE? At the very least, it means you've met some basic requirements:

Worked 10 years in the profession
Demonstrated 5 years of significant professional performance
Received three supporting references from IEEE senior members or fellows.

But, this tells only part of the story. Senior members often find their status to be an asset in their careers. Learn more at http://boldfish.ieee.org/u/senior7f/40053806.
