Overall, IEEE Membership continues to look extremely healthy for 1999. However, the growth is far from evenly split in all ten IEEE geographic Regions.
Affiliation also shows continued strong growth.
Last year when the online renewal was available to selected Regions, nearly 34,000 members renewed on the Web. With more members having access to the Internet and the online system open to all members at all grades, this year's goal is 100,000 online renewals. Members who either renewed on the Web for 1999 or who joined the IEEE via the Web this year, will receive an email renewal notice inviting them to renew their 2000 membership on the Web before a printed invoice is mailed. But, keep in mind, all members and affiliates may renew on the Web, whether or not they receive this notice. Check SAMIeee for members with an AR designation.
