2011 SPIE Senior Members
SPIE Senior Members are Members of distinction who will be honored for their professional experience, their active involvement with the optics community and SPIE, and/or significant performance that sets them apart from their peers. While similar in some ways to the Society's Fellows program, Senior Member recognition is a separate category that will be more accessible to active Members earlier in their careers, as well as other Members in a broader constituency.
A minimum of five years of significant achievement or continuous SPIE Membership (not as a student) is required for nomination as a Senior Member. Senior Members must also have at least 10 years of professional experience, which may include credit for up to six years while earning an academic degree. View Senior Member nomination criteria.
Senior Members can apply for this distinction by completing and submitting the nomination form, or be nominated by a colleague or mentor. The deadline for submitting nomination materials for Senior Member status is 2 April in any given year. Nominations will be reviewed by the SPIE Membership Committee who will then submit their recommendations to the SPIE Board of Directors for approval.
Nominate a colleague.
Printable nomination poster available here. Download, print and post in your workplace to encourage other SPIE members to nominate a colleague - or nominate themselves. The nomination submission deadline is 2 April 2012.
