7 Reasons to Sail Away
with IEEE-USA in October

You might be wondering if IEEE-USA's 50th Anniversary Cruise presented by the IEEE Member Group Insurance Program is right for you. If easy planning, great value, and waking up in a different destination each day sound like the makings of your ideal getaway, here are seven great reasons why IEEE-USA's 50th Anniversary Cruise is for you!

In early March, IEEE-USA will be inviting all U.S. IEEE higher-grade members to participate in its annual salary survey. Please keep an eye on your in-box for an email from IEEE-USA with links to the online survey. Members who complete the survey (it takes about 15-20 minutes) will receive 10 free uses of IEEE-USA's salary calculators later this year plus a copy of the full report. The survey will close on 31 March. Thank you in advance for your help -- your responses enable IEEE-USA to produce the most comprehensive report of technology professionals' compensation in the United States.

After two years of virtual-only events, IEEE-USA’s Congressional Visits Day (CVD) will return in-person to Washington, D.C., on 4-5 April.

Registration is now open. 

For the second consecutive Year, with volunteer support from the IEEE Dayton Section, IEEE-USA is sponsoring The Big Hoopla, a set of events opening the “First Four” 12-15 March in Dayton, Ohio. Local volunteers are needed to help staff the IEEE-USA booth at the STEM Challenge on Sunday, 12 March. A limited number of tickets for the First Four games are available to volunteers and local members.
