To become a member of the LICN and receive its perks, you must be a member in good standing with the IEEE. There is a fee of $100 per year 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 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 the following documents.
- Constitution (PDF)
- 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, David Rost.
