We are just at the beginning of a period of change, changes that hold great promise for the IEEE Signal Processing Society. However great changes can also bring great risks. Navigating successfully through this period of change will require decisions based on observation, dedication and determination. Pror. Wan-Chi Siu, the VP-Conferences, appreciates the voice of the members to drive these decisions and invites you to share the ideas. We look forward to continuing our success and growing both the membership base and conference offerings for the Society.
