Overview The Board of Governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) has allocated $40,000 for Member-Driven Initiatives for the 2015 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. Allocation of funds will be competitive. Access the application here.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) is honored to announce the elevation of 22 of its members to the grade of IEEE Senior Member.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society is happy to announce the creation of the Women in Signal Processing Subcommittee! The subcommittee hopes to better serve, expand, and mobilize the female SPS membership base through tailored events, networking opportunities, workshops, and more. The group has established a LinkedIn page for communications. If you’d like to be involved, head over to their LinkedIn page and join the conversation!

The IEEE Signal Processing Society Chapter of the Year Award will be presented for the fifth time in 2016. The award will be presented annually to a Chapter that has provided their membership with the highest quality of programs, activities and services. The award will be presented annually in conjunction with the International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP) to the Chapter’s representative. The award will consist of a certificate and a check in the amount of $1,000 to support local chapter activities. The winning Chapter will also be invited to publish an article in the IEEE Inside Signal Processing eNewsletter.

SPS has changed its nominating process for all Society Awards from paper awards to the major society awards. We now call for nominations from any society individual member, society committee, or society board. Nominations from individual members can be supported by up to two endorsement letters from two other individual members. The SPS Awards Board is now accepting nominations for the 2015 major SPS awards.

As a special benefit to IEEE members for the month of May, IEEE-USA will offer "Doing Innovation – Book 4: What It Takes To Be an Innovator" -- by Gerard H. “Gus” Gaynor. This e-book focuses on a critical element of innovation -- the Innovator. What do innovators bring to an organization? What characteristics and attitudes do they display? Available 1 May through 15 June.

IEEE Future Directions is your resource to emerging technologies within IEEE. The team has identified specific technologies as primary focus areas and has established them as formal initiatives to engage IEEE and the general public. For each initiative, you can find a wealth of knowledge, resources, and opportunities to participate. Visit each featured portal for access to upcoming conferences, news articles, technical papers, related standards, professional organizations, and academic programs.

One of the trends in publishing is to make research articles publicly available through a process called “open access” (OA). To help ensure that your conference authors can meet open access guidelines from their funding agencies, reviewing the IEEE Author Posting policy may address their concerns and make them comfortable submitting papers to your conference.
