The IEEE Signal Processing Society is seeking nominations for future leaders! Nominations for several SPS leadership roles are open now, and we are now soliciting for the following roles with terms beginning 1 January 2027:

• TWO Regional Directors-at-Large (two-year terms ending 31 December 2028)
  • Regions 1-6 (USA) 
  • Region 8 (Africa, Europe, Middle East)

The SPS Member-at-Large position on the Board of Governors represents the member viewpoint in the Board decision making. They typically review, discuss, and act upon a wide range of items affecting the actions, activities, and health of the Society.

The SPS Regional Director-at-Large position on the Board of Governors represents the member viewpoint at the regional perspective in the Board decision making.
