At its 15 September 2011 meeting, the Board of Governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society passed amendments to the Society’s Constitution document.

Effective 29 July 2011, IEEE Admission and Advancement launched a new Senior Member Application.

The new application includes numerous enhancements, based on feedback from volunteers and members, including:

Li Deng, the EIC of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine (SPM), in representing his entire SPM editorial team, would like to share some thoughts with all SPM readers in this departing eNews article and he would also like to take this opportunity to report some new initiatives from SPM. His editorial team took a unique approach to running SPM and their approach turned out to be quite successful. Li also uses this article to express his special, wholehearted thanks to his IEEE colleagues and to introduce Prof. Abdelhak Zoubir, the new editor-in-chief of SPM.

The Board of Governors (BoG) is the governing body that oversees the activities of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. Four new Members-at-Large will take their seats on the Signal Processing Society Board of Governors beginning 1 January 2012. Three will serve for a three-year term until 31 December 2014 (Philip Chou, C.-C. Jay Kuo and Anna Scaglione) and the fourth (Fernando Pereira) will fill a vacant Member-at-Large position for the 2012 calendar year.
