Thank you and congratulations to incoming Computational Intelligence Society chair Joel Goodman, and to incoming Computer Society chapter chair and vice-chair Mike Pepe and Kevin Noll – our members look forward to the events you are planning. Thank you also to outgoing chairs Rhonda Farrell and Robin Thottungal, whose efforts and service over the years have been greatly appreciated.
Finally, congratulations to Electron Devices chair John Zhang on acceptance into IEEE MGA’s Volunteer Leadership Training Program (VOLT) Track 2. Members who complete the online Track 1 of this annual program may apply for this additional interactive phase.
