How do I become an IIE distinguished member?

Throughout a semester, point totals are accumulated for each registered UW-Madison IIE member. Members receive points for attending various events, and an individual's points are kept by the IIE officer board. The point allocation system is described below:

One point:  Attending a general/committee meeting or event, a company presentation, or a social.

One point:  Attending a volunteer event (volunteering events include hockey game concession sales, outreach events, EXPO stand volunteering, Career Connection volunteering, and any other events).

Two points:  Attending an IIE-sponsored visit to a company

Three points:  Attending the IIE Regional Conference.

Five points:  Giving a technical paper presentation at Regional Conference

Six points:  Attending the IIE National Conference.

At the end of the semester Distinguished Member status is achieved if a regular member is in the top one-third by total number of points. These members will then be listed on the IIE website for the entire upcoming semester, and given a printed certificate for their achievements. Maintaining an actively participating officer position within IIE facilitates Distinguished Member status.
