Improved Networking Capabilities with IEEE memberNet

It is now easier for IEEE members to find and communicate with other IEEE members who have similar professional interests. Recently, IEEE memberNet, the online member directory, was improved by defaulting additional fields as part of a member’s profile. The following fields are now part of a member’s default profile:

• location - city, state (as appropriate), country, and Section;
• optional memberships - e.g. Societies, Standards Association, Women in Engineering;
• technical interest profile;
• e-mail Messaging - allows a member to send an email to another member; however, email addresses by default will not be visible.

To further enhance their profile, members also can choose to share additional information, such as a short biography, employer’s name, student/alumni information, and/or a photograph. By sharing and showing this data on their profile page, members can search and collaborate more easily with IEEE professional contacts. By establishing a robust profile, each member is enhancing the experience for the entire IEEE community.

Members can choose to edit their profile and opt out of these fields at any time by signing in to their myIEEE account, then selecting the "Community" tab, and following the “Opt-In Preferences” link within the IEEE memberNet gadget.
