IEEE membership should be personalized for each individual to make it valuable to him/her.

For his/her membership bundle, each individual should be allowed to pick the services/products that really matter to him/her.

I envision a simple token-based model for implementing such flexibility and adaptability.

IEEE membership and product/service fees should be affordable everywhere, including within large countries where differences in the average income may be significant among geographical areas.

Even though people see value in membership and products/services, the cost is still a barrier in several areas. Electronic membership is still too high, especially for young people, in various places.

I believe that IEEE should always focus on the needs of people in our scientific and professional community, for technology advancement, innovation, and professional growth, as well as - ultimately - for the economic and social development and the benefit of the humanity. We are a professional association by people for people.

Students are an essential part of our scientific and professional community since they will become the professionals and the scientists of the future. They will be the future. And, as IEEE, we need to provide them knowledge, tools, and services to support them in building their personal knowledge, skills, and career, complementing and extending the fundamental, applied, and advanced knowledge and the experiences provided by the universities.

Entrepreneurs are a group of industry people with specific needs, mainly directed to develop and support entrepreneurship skills and competences. The will be one of the essential and creative engines of industry innovation and the economic development. They are the ones who are taking the challenge of using or developing new technologies and applications and aim to create new agile companies.

Life Members are a vital valuable part of our scientific and professional community: they are the living knowledge and experience of our community. They can give an extraordinary contribution in building the community and the future, not only as scientists, technologists, and managers, but also as knowledge sources and role models.
