SPS Past President and Chair, Nominations and Appointments Committee
In accordance with the Bylaws of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, I am writing to solicit nominations for the Awards Board and the Nominations and Appointments (N&A) Committee. This year, the Society will be filling TWO positions on the N&A Committee for the term 2023-2024 and TWO positions on the Awards Board for the term 2023-2025.

Applied Signal Processing Systems
Cluster 2: Imaging, Video, Multimedia, Forensics
Bio Imaging and Signal Processing Technical Committee
Computational Imaging
Image, Video, and Multidimensional Signal Processing
Multimedia Signal Processing
Information Forensics and Security
Cluster 3: ML, SAM, COM, SPTM
Machine Learning for Signal Processing

Nominations for the Awards Board and Nominations and Appointments Committee positions must be submitted through the new online nomination system at https://ieee.secure-platform.com/a/solicitations/598/home. The following information is required for each nomination: candidate name, contact information, IEEE Region, IEEE member number and grade, Cluster number and technical area, and candidate’s brief biography including information about current SP, IEEE, or other Society volunteer activities.
Manage Collaborators on Nomination: There is a Manage Collaborators button in the top right corner of the nomination page. The Primary Collaborator, who is the person who started the nomination, can add additional collaborators on the nomination by clicking the Add Collaborator button. Once a Collaborator is added, the application can be transferred to a new Primary Collaborator by clicking Make Primary next to the name. Access can also be removed from a collaborator by clicking Remove Access next to the name. Only the Primary Collaborator can submit or finalize the application, as well as add other Collaborators. All Collaborators can view and edit the application. However, only one user can be editing the nomination at a time to avoid accidental overwriting of another's information.
Nominations must be received no later than Friday, 23 September 2022.
Below you will find descriptions about the Awards Board and Nominations and Appointments Committee positions.
The Awards Board is responsible to: a) solicit candidates for all Society awards and prizes in accordance with the requirements for each award; b) solicit nominations of candidates from among the Society’s members for IEEE Fellow grade; c) solicit nominations and appoint the Society’s Distinguished Lecturers and Distinguished Industry Speakers annually; d) assist the nominations of worthy Society members for awards and recognitions that may be available from other sources outside the Society and the IEEE; e) review and select best paper awards from the nominations; and f) vet the major award nominations. Awards Board members are not allowed to submit nominations or be nominated for awards under their purview.
Please note that current members of the Board of Governors are ineligible to serve on the Awards Board. Awards Board members sitting on Technical Committees must ensure that they do not participate in the Technical Committee award nomination or selection process and are ineligible for awards under the purview of the Awards Board during their term on the Awards Board. The term of Board members is three-years, non-renewable. For more information, please review the Awards Board Member-at-Large Position Description.
