The IEEE Board of Directors has nominated IEEE Fellows J. Roberto Boisson de Marca and Tariq S. Durrani as candidates for 2013 IEEE President-Elect. The two men, chosen by the board in November, are set to face off in the annual election this year. The winner of the election will serve as 2014 IEEE President.

At its 31 March 2012 meeting, the Board of Governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society passed amendments to the Society’s Constitution document. Procedures require approval by the IEEE Technical Activities Board, which has already been secured, followed by a 30-day period for member comment. The amendment is considered approved unless one-half percent or more of the Society’s membership objects, in writing, within 30 days of publication. Publication here fulfills the latter portion of the approval requirement.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) invites nominations for the position of Director-Membership Services. The term for the Director position will be three years (1 January 2013-31 December 2015).
