To become a paid full member of the LICN and receive its perks, you must be a member in good standing with the IEEE and pay a $100 per year fee to the LICN to help support our network. Meetings are currently held online via Zoom on the first Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm. We are looking for a site to hold hybrid meetings (i.e. in-person and online). We will announce where, if and when a suitable site becomes available.
Objectives of the Network are to:
- Assist members in developing their consulting practices by networking inside and outside our organization and by sharing information on matters such as:
- Standards of professional conduct
- Methods for finding new business
- Formats for written agreements
- Liability issues
- Confidentiality agreements
- Patent rights
- Assist our paid full members in promoting their practices by sharing the cost of business promotion through:
- An opportunity to be included in ads in various publications. Cost varies with the publication and the number of participants.
- Listing on the LICN web site.
- Providing Professional Development Hour (PDH) credits for Continuing Education seminars given by the LICN without an additional fee.
- Assist members in staying current with trends in technology by inviting experts to speak on topics of general interest.
How to Become a Member
Before making application, please read our Code of Ethics.
Please apply for membership online. You can also download the Membership Information Form, fill it out, scan and email it to Officers@licn.org.
We accept electronic payment via Zelle. Zelle is a bank-to-bank transfer mechanism supported by most banks, without a fee, as part of their normal online banking capabilities. There is also a Zelle app available for your smartphone.
When you use Zelle with your bank, it will ask for the following information: 1) the amount to send (enter $100.00), 2) what account you want to pull the money from (select whatever account you want to use), and 3) the phone number or email of the recipient (enter ieeelicn@gmail.com. Don’t worry if you see the name of our Treasurer, David Rost, pop up). If it asks for a memo field, we suggest entering yyyy LICN Fee where yyyy is the year that you are paying for.
An alternative to this is to send a check for $100 payable to IEEE Consultants Network of LI, to our Treasurer, Ed Gellender.
Create a Directory Listing and Skills Matrix Entry
After you have become a full member, we will give you your login information and you can then create a directory listing that will be used for our web site (and potentially other ads and directories).
