News and Resources for Members of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
Rabab Ward
President, IEEE Signal Processing Society
At its November 2015 meeting, the IEEE Board of Directors approved the presentation to IEEE membership of proposed revisions to the IEEE Constitution. They are to be voted upon by the IEEE membership as part of the 2016 IEEE election ballot, opening 15 August and closing 3 October . The revisions have the stated objective: "Create a nimble, flexible, forward-looking organization."
During its 25 March 2016 meeting, the Signal Processing Society's Board of Governors (BoG) carefully reviewed and considered the proposed IEEE Constitutional Amendment change, and unanimously passed this motion: The BoG of the SPS is not in favor of the proposed constitutional amendment and optimized board structure.
BoG reasoning included the following:
The SPS BoG wants Society members to be fully informed voters, so this motion was also unanimously passed: It was moved for the Society to create and communicate a balanced view of the pros and cons of the constitutional amendment to the membership of the Society.
We encourage you to read about the proposed changes, make up your own mind about them, and dutifully exercise your right to vote to influence IEEE's future.
