IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of Institute membership, conferred only by elevation by the Board of Directors. Candidates must be IEEE Senior Members with at least five years of cumulative IEEE membership at any grade except Affiliate. The nominator is responsible for preparing the formal nomination form through the IEEE Fellows Portal; identifying a minimum of 3, but not more than 5 IEEE Fellows, capable of assessing the candidate’s contributions, who agree to serve as references; identifying an IEEE Society or Council whose evaluating committee will assess the candidate’s technical qualifications and contributions. Through the Fellows Portal, the nomination package is sent to the Fellows Committee, which must review all nominations and assessments, and prepare a ranked list. The total number of Fellow recommendations each year cannot exceed 0.1% of IEEE voting membership, excluding Affiliates.
