The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) held a long-range strategic retreat during IEEE ICIP 2010 to seek attendance and input from a variety of Society, industrial, and local leaders to bring to the event fresh points of view. How to better serve our members was the central theme of the discussion in the retreat, and several items were identified as key new initiatives that SPS can consider to take on to offer more benefit and value to our members.

The SPS members are also invited to provide input to this SPS long-range planning and implementation initiative.
