At its 31 March 2012 meeting, the Board of Governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society passed amendments to the Society’s Constitution document. Procedures require approval by the IEEE Technical Activities Board, which has already been secured, followed by a 30-day period for member comment. The amendment is considered approved unless one-half percent or more of the Society’s membership objects, in writing, within 30 days of publication. Publication here fulfills the latter portion of the approval requirement.

Two publications of the IEEE Signal Processing Society will welcome new Editors-in-Chief beginning January 2013 for the term that will run until 31 December 2015.

These new Editors-in-Chief are:

W. Clem Karl (Boston University) for the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, succeeding Thrasos Pappas, (Northwestern University), and

IEEE recently launched a news page and blog with the tagline “Brightening the future, improving the world” that promotes the value of IEEE Societies and communities. Articles cover humanitarian, educational, and technological achievements and initiatives, including those of the IEEE Humanitarian Technology Challenge.

The school will be hosted in National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan. APPLICATION DEADLINE: 11 Jun 2012.

The Nominate a Senior Member Initiative was designed to encourage all IEEE Societies and Sections to become actively involved in promoting the Senior Member grade.

This initiative aims to:

* encourage grade advancement in IEEE;
* simplify the application process;
* offer financial incentives for approved Senior Member applications;
* offer increased benefits for Senior membership.
