Affiliate Members

The Signal Processing Society and its Technical Committees revised its bylaws and policies and procedures a few years ago. As a result of these changes, the Society’s Technical Committees now have the opportunity to expand their membership base by adding Technical Committee Affiliate Members. Technical Committee Affiliate Members are non-elected, non-voting members of the Technical Committee. There is no limit to the number of Affiliate Members that a Technical Committee can have. Affiliate membership is open to:

• IEEE SPS members (any grade) and IEEE student members interested in the scope of a given Technical Committee.
• Non-IEEE members of professional organizations in interdisciplinary fields within the Technical Committee’s scope.

Technical Committee Affiliate Members will receive calls for Member and Vice Chair nominations, as well as any eNewsletter the Technical Committee may have. Technical Committee Affiliate Members also have the opportunity to act as reviewers for one of the Society’s conferences or be appointed to one of the Technical Committee’s subcommittees.

Becoming a Technical Committee Affiliate Member is easy, just visit this website and request Affiliate Membership. Sign up today and pass on this news to interested colleagues!
