Are You Out of Touch?

Are you missing out?  Are you one of the 20% that doesn't get the word?  If you have not been receiving electronic content or news from IEEE, it may be because you do not have an e-mail address in your membership record at IEEE headquarters.

Increasingly, IEEE units have abandoned mailed newsletters due to the cost and labor involved in producing one.  Instead, communication with members and volunteers is done by e-mail and web pages.  All of this e-mail relies upon e-mail addresses provided by members in their membership record at IEEE national headquarters.

About 20% of the membership has not supplied an e-mail address in their membership record.  Another 1 or 2% has an incorrect e-mail address in their record.  These members do not receive notices of IEEE meetings and other events.

You can easily update your e-mail address on-line at http://services1.ieee.org/membersvc/coa/intro.htm.  An IEEE web account will be required, and may be obtained by following links from that location.  If the omission of an e-mail address is not a simple oversight, we'd like to hear from you to help us address the problem.  If your e-mail address does not end in "@ieee.org", consider applying for an IEEE e-mail alias to use as your primary e-mail address;  an alias is very easy to update as you change jobs or providers.
