President’s Message: State of Society

March Issue
By
Kostas Plataniotis

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) had a momentous year in 2025. The successes we achieved together helped move the Society forward in new and innovative ways. We also learned valuable lessons, which we will use to help transform this new year.

I was proud to introduce this “State of Society” column last year as a reliable way to communicate our Society’s activities, successes, and challenges to all members, not just those able to attend flagship events in which I give a Society address. Members are the heart of our Society, and it is important to me that every member has the most up-to-date Society news and information.
