Call for Nominations: Fellow Evaluation Committee Member Positions

The Board of Governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society invites nominations for the society-level Fellow Evaluation Committee Member position. The term of appointment is one year (1 January 2026-31 December 2026), renewable for up to three consecutive years. Each committee member is responsible for evaluating nominations for IEEE Fellow that are referred for review by the IEEE Fellow Committee and providing the IEEE-level judging committee with a critical evaluation and assessment of nominees referred to the Society by the nominator.

Note: All candidates must be an active IEEE Fellow, an active Society member in good standing, and cannot be a member of the IEEE Fellow Committee or the IEEE Board of Directors. If appointed, members cannot serve as a Nominator for any Fellow nominees or serve as References or Endorsers for any Fellow Nominees evaluated by SPS.

Nominators are encouraged to take into consideration the need for representation of diversity in the nomination slate with respect to gender, region, career sectors, and technical areas, when submitting their nominations. The IEEE expects the composition of both committees to meet the following diversity requirements:

• A maximum of 50% of members from Regions 1-7
