We encourage Rochester  IEEE members to consider upgrading their membership to Senior Member if they qualify.  Only 8% of IEEE’s approximately 400,000 members hold this grade.  Being honored  as a Senior Member requires extensive experience and documented achievements of significance.

• be engineers, scientists, educators, technical executives, or originators in IEEE-designated fields;
• have experience reflecting professional maturity;
• have been in professional practice for at least 10 years;
• show significant performance over a period of at least 5 of their years in professional practice.
