SENIOR MEMBERS
We are Looking for Senior Member Nominations:

READ THIS SECTION TO BECOME A SENIOR MEMBER IN THE IEEE.

A goal of our region is to sponsor as many Senior Members as possible and I am asking your help.  The IEEE criteria for Senior Member status is ten years of professional practice including five years of significant performance, and references.  (See the nominator letter and application form for clarification on the IEEE website.)  If you know an IEEE member who qualifies for Senior Membership, I would like you to nominate him or her by forwarding their nomination to one of the Houston Section Excom members.   If you qualify and are not a senior member please reply to one of the Section Excom members.  If you are retired and have met the criteria at one time lets get you nominated.  Section meetings are the best networking tool to achieve Senior membership.

As an alternative process, you can direct the prospective Senior Member to one of the Houston Section Excom Members.  We have a list of several Fellows and Senior Members which we can use for references.  The section will nominate all those qualified who provide a resume and significant performance vita.

Senior Membership in IEEE promotes the value of membership and enhances the status of the member.  This is an achievement award lets honor our deserving members.

IEEE Houston Section
7th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament

On Monday, November 10, 2008 the IEEE Houston Section sponsored our Seventh Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament held at Walden on Lake Houston Golf Club. The proceeds from this event benefit the IEEE Houston Section Scholarship Fund.

There were 42 teams and though the weather was somewhat rainy from time to time, the golf combined with the food, fun and prizes made for a great event.

We sincerely appreciate our sponsors and participants who, once again, made this a memorable event.  We'll have pictures up on the web shortly.

Thanks to Gil Dolor for chairing this year's tourney again and all those who helped in so many ways.
