Forgot to Renew Your Membership?

On Feb 26, IEEE ran the "Terminator" on all members who have not yet renewed. Although membership services and subscriptions have been discontinued as of the end of February, they will be reinstated immediately upon payment of this years dues. If past experience is any guide, many of these members intended to renew and inadvertently allowed their membership to lapse simply because they forgot or procrastinated. An e-mail or phone call from you may be all it takes. Lapsed members can renew their membership online at http://www.ieee.org/renew by clicking on the "renew" link. An IEEE Web account, or Member number and PIN are needed for access.
