The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) would like to express our concern and support for the members of our global community and all affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic.

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 2021-22 and TWO positions on the Awards Board for the term 2021-2023. Nominations must be received no later than Friday, 25 September 2020.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) would like to express our concern and support for the members of our global community and all affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic.

The IEEE Board of Directors has approved the 2021 IEEE Technical Field Awards. The complete list of recipients and their citations is online at www.ieee.org/awards. Please feel free to send your notes of congratulations and to publicize the recipients within your IEEE and professional affiliations.

IEEE SPS has built a streamlined mechanism for employers to add a job announcement by simply filling in a simple job opportunity submission Web form related to a particular TC field. To submit job announcements for a particular Technical Committee, the submission form can be found by visiting the page below and selecting a particular TC.

As a reminder for continuing chapter chairs and for incoming chapter chairs for 2020, we would like to highlight a valuable resource available to you. Launched in 2018, IEEE OU Analytics, is a web-based business intelligence tool which delivers essential metrics on memberships or subscriptions to OUs, including Societies, Councils, Technical Communities, etc.

In an effort to continue our programs and services during this difficult time, the SPS Awards Board is now accepting nominations for all Society level awards, from paper awards to the major society awards. Nominations are due by 1 September 2020.

It is my pleasure to announce that the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) annual election will commence on 17 August! This year, all eligible SPS Members will now vote for the Regional Directors-at-Large for Regions 1-6 and 8 (term 1 January 2021 through 31 December 2022), and Members-at-Large (term 1 January 2021 through 31 December 2023) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society Board of Governors (BoG).
