1. R10 Annual General Meeting
Name: Kunio Tada
Committee: R10 Life Members Committee
2 March 2013
Chiang Mai, Thailand
Good morning/afternoon.
Thank you for the invitation to speak to you.
It is always a pleasure to meet with Student Members of IEEE and those who have recently graduated and become full IEEE Members.
In past presentations, I and other IEEE Presidents have discussed -- with groups such as this -- the benefits of IEEE membership and how you should be a member and stay a member.
But my experience over time tells me that – because you are here today – you are already aware of these everyday benefits.

2. Life Members Activities
R10 Life Members Comm. is to be formed soon including non-life members for collaboration among generations
Forming Life Members Affinity Group is encouraged

Encouraging elderly members to obtain Life Member status in the future is very important
