Each year, the IEEE Board of Directors confers the grade of Fellow on up to one-tenth of one percent of the members. The Signal Processing Society congratulates the following 46 SPS members who were recognized with the grade of Fellow as of 1 January 2013.

Nominations are due 31 January 2013 for the 2014 IEEE Technical Field Awards (TFA).

Technical Activities has expanded its volunteer training program to include short, on-line volunteer training modules.

Each module will focus on information or a process that will assist volunteers in their IEEE activities. The goal of the program is to provide key volunteer information in a convenient, user-friendly format. A listing of currently-available modules can be found at http://www.ieee.org/go/volunteertraining.

Our SPS members Sadaoki Furui and \Victor Zue received the 2012 Okawa Prize.
