Welcome to IEEE SCV LMAG Homepage

The SCV Life Members Affinity Group is organizing and presenting events that cater to IEEE Life Members. We host or co-host talks on a range of topics that include technologies to assist our aging population, to address California’s electricity production shortages, and to address our water shortages. We are also reaching out to Life members who find satisfaction in serving our community as volunteers. With many years of experience, you can be a valuable mentor to younger engineers, especially to the Student Members and the Young Professionals.
