IEEE Senior Member is the highest IEEE member grade for which IEEE members can apply and does not incur any additional cost or fees. The Senior Member grade is a way for the IEEE members to receive recognition for their professional experience and significant performance in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and the related fields including Computer Science and Information Technology, Physical Sciences, Biological and Medical Sciences, Mathematics, Technical Communications, Education, Management, Law, and Policy. The advancement to Senior Member provides the IEEE members with significant and distinct benefits. These benefits include the eligibility to hold Executive IEEE Volunteer Positions and getting recognition of your peers for technical and professional excellence. Newly elevated senior members will also receive an engraved senior member plaque from IEEE. Senior Member Elevation: IEEE Southeastern Michigan (SEM) Section Membership Committee will reprise its Senior Member Elevation event, on Saturday July 20, 2024 from 9:00 AM to 10:30AM (online). Elevation: Senior Member Reviewers will assist interested member candidates with at least 10 years of experience in their profession. The way it works is: At least a 10 years of significant experience with a Bachelors' degree needs be be established to initiate the senior membership elevation. (A Ph.D is considered to be 5 years of significant experience and a master degree is considered to be 2 years of significant experience. The remaining 5 (with PhD) to 8 (with MS degree) years of significant experience should be established from the member experience in his/her profession to initiate and submit applications for Senior Member Elevation.) Note: There is no cost to becoming a Senior Member, and this step is a necessary prelude to seeking the IEEE ‘Fellow’ level. Also for some positions within the IEEE, senior status is a requirement. For a complete description of the Senior Member process and its benefits, see the link at: https://www.ieee.org/membership_services/membership/grade_elevation.html To (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/425009)for "Elevation" Time Slot, please(https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/425009)for the event and consider contacting existing senior members/fellows as references; also bring an electronic copy of your resume, and relevant supporting materials (list of papers published, standards work done, patents, senior/leadership positions, etc). Here is a link to (https://www.ieee.org/membership/senior/deadlines.html) before filing your application. Also you may seek to contact or network with other Southeastern Michigan Section members who were upgraded to senior status. Networking: * We recommend that attendees join us online, we will create 3 breakout rooms, one for each reference (at least) * NOTE: Preference given to IEEE members of SE Michigan first! Time permitting we can follow up with members from outside the Section/Region.... * The whole idea of the Saturday meeting: - - Is to learn and connect with references. when references meet you and interact - Once they know you, they can do a better job of writing a reference - Get tips on what to upload to the online application - Learn what areas to include/highlight for the supplemental materials - Learn not to simply copy paste the CV to the different areas of the online application. Co-sponsored by: Sharan Kalwani Agenda: Online Link (TBD) (Saturday) 09:00 AM - Introductions, 1-on-1 pairing and Elevation processing. 10:30 PM - Wrap up, Clean up, Solidify new friendships, contacts, networking and temporarily say 'Good bye' Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/425009

Space assets such as satellites, drones and spacecraft are increasingly attractive targets for adversaries ranging from individual hackers, to hacker groups and nation states.

The latest McKinsey Global Survey on AI in May of 2024 concludes that 2023 was the year the world discovered generative AI (GenAI) and 2024 is the year organizations truly began using—and deriving business value from—this new technology. An incredible 65 percent of respondents report that their organizations are regularly using GenAI, which is nearly double the percentage from the previous survey just ten months before. Respondents’ expectations for gen AI’s impact remain as high with three-quarters predicting that gen AI will lead to significant or disruptive change in their industries in the years ahead. This session is an invaluable opportunity for business leaders like you to overcome your hesitation and uncertainty of AI. Mastering AI tools and techniques is not just about keeping pace with technology; it's about leveraging these advanced resources to fill in knowledge gaps, enhance decision-making, and drive productivity. Learning to utilize AI not only streamlines operations but also significantly boosts your capacity to deliver increased business outcomes, making you more valuable and a strategic asset to your organization.
