It appears I am going to be made a Senior Member of the IEEE (the highest level one can achieve)... Cool!

@freemo Congratulations!! Remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Abuse it wisely.

@freemo Wow! Massive congratulations ๐Ÿคฉ

@freemo The highest member grade in #IEEE is fellow. Senior membership is the second-highest level and the last one for which you can apply. Congratulations!

@freemo Yep. And that's restricted to one tenth of one percent of each year's voting membership. Very selective and very prestigious. You'll have to be nominated by your peers.

@JensHannemann prestige isnt too important to me, but would be cool if that were the case one day.

@freemo I've served on several senior membership elevation panels. It's still a great accomplishment. Congrats again! #IEEE truly is a great organization.

@JensHannemann Thank you. I can say it will certainly motivate me to be more active in IEEE as well.

@freemo One of my early role models in my journey with #IEEE, Dan Benigni, said: "You don't get the most out of it if you don't volunteer". And it's absolutely true. It's fun and great for your career to boot.

@freemo Grats! So how much more work is this gonna give you? ;)

@freemo That's awesome! Congrats. So we can all reach out to you about standards that we disagree with and you'll change them for us, right? ๐Ÿ˜
