Membership Has Its Privileges [President’s Column

Abstract

That was a slogan American Express used years ago, when I was younger and an avid TV watcher. The company’s commercials always showed people on great vacations, living lavishly. The implication was that if you had membership with American Express through its credit card services, you, too, would have all the privileges displayed in the ads. As I embarked on writing this article, I wanted to mention the benefits of membership in the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S).
