by Dr. Vitor Nascimento, Chair of SPS South Brazil Chapter The IEEE SPS South Brazil Chapter was created at the end of 2010. It covers four Brazilian states (Sao Paulo, Parana, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul).

A change to how Fellow nomination forms are submitted will take place for the 2013 Fellow Class.

This year's election offers SPS members the opportunity to cast their votes via the web at https://eballot3.votenet.com/IEEE_SE for up to FOUR Member-at-Large candidates. Three will serve for a three-year term (1 January 2012-31 December 2014) and the fourth will fill a vacant Member-at-Large position for the 2012 calendar year. Ballots must be received at IEEE no later than 1 September 2011 in order to be counted.

IEEE recently expanded its social media presence with the creation of the official IEEE Facebook page.
