Three new Members-at-Large will take their seats on the Signal Processing Society Board of Governors beginning 1 January 2017 and will serve until 31 December 2019. The successful candidates are Abeer A.H. Alwan, Antonio Ortega and Beatrice Pesquet-Popescu.

Overview
The Board of Governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) has allocated $40,000 for Member-Driven Initiatives for the 2016 calendar year. The funding is open to all Signal Processing Society members, Chapters and Committees. However, all proposals must include the involvement of the local Chapter to encourage geographic development. Allocation of funds will be competitive.
