If it holds true to the way that the EMC Society dues are paid, these dues are collected when the IEEE member pays his/her annual IEEE Membership dues. In the case of the EMC Soceity, I believe this is about $18/year. If you don't pay the society dues, then you are not a member for that year. When you renew your IEEE membership, you are given the option of joining any or all of the societies. The annual dues are then collected along with the IEEE membership dues. Once the dues are paid, you are a member of that society and receive all of the society benefits, including any society publications or newsletters. I expect that you will see the Product Safety Society on your next IEEE renewal form.

From: Jacob Schanker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 12:33 PM To: EMC-PSTC Subject: Product Safety Society By-Laws The IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society has an interesting clause in their By-Laws regarding the payment of dues: 8.1 Society annual assessment of fees The annual Society fee shall be determined by action of the Board of Directors. Failure of a Society member to pay the annual Society fee will not render him liable to dismissal from the IEEE. Any Society member who fails to pay such fee before 31 February of each year will be automatically dropped >from the Society membership. Anyone care to comment on this? (It is Friday, after all!)
