Nomination Details: Benefits of Life membership Dues and regional assessments are waived for a Life Member. For qualifying Life Members, society fees are waived (IEEE Bylaw I-108.8). Individuals may receive reduced member rates at conferences where IEEE is the sole sponsor. IEEE Policy 10.1.15 "Reduced fees, waiver of fees, or fee differential for unemployed IEEE members, retired members, and for special registrants (e.g., guests, speakers, and exhibitors) are permitted at the discretion of the Conference Organizing Committee. The individual registration fee for Life Members must be no more than that for students." Life Members continue to receive the same benefits that are available to other IEEE members. Life Members continue to receive the benefits included in the IEEE Member Discounts Program (includes IEEE Insurance Program). 2018 Photo: Daniel Prober Acceptance Speech × Pravin Raghuwanshi Acceptance Speech × 2017 Robert Laibowitz Acceptance Speech × M Lopez-Lopez Acceptance Speech × Photo: Arnold H.
