IEEE is transitioning from wire payments and checks to direct wire transfers to your bank, also known as Automated Clearing House (ACH), or direct deposits, as its standard form of payment method for reimbursements to volunteers who work in the United States.  Direct deposit of payments is a more efficient, secure method of payment, and has been requested by many of our volunteers for several years.

The Signal Processing Society, in partnership with TELUS, recently sponsored an inspiring video about a small startup team of Canadian signal processing and computer engineers who, in 1978, competed with NASA in a race to use radar to image never-before-seen parts of the earth. The video is currently airing on Air Canada flights as part of their in-flight entertainment package, and is part of an ongoing effort to increase public visibility of signal processing and the Society.
