IEEE AP-S Volunteers in the Spotlight! [Editor’s Comments

Abstract

Many of us as members of IEEE AP-S have the opportunity to benefit from the many activities, benefits, sponsorships, and conferences that AP-S has to offer every year. We owe all of this to the many volunteers in our society that support IEEE AP-S with their enthusiasm and commitment at the local, regional, national, and international levels. A central role of this dynamism is the mutual visibility of the different scales, with local activities that are publicized and honored worldwide and international initiatives that are disseminated locally to make sure that everybody knows the great opportunities that our IEEE Society has to offer. The magazine has traditionally served with enthusiasm this dynamic, and we will keep doing so even further with a brand new column that starts in this issue, “AP-S Committees & Activities.” The column’s mission is to present in one place all the upcoming and vibrant initiatives sprouting from our volunteers locally and globally. This will include AdCom activities, AP-S committees’ work and reports, local Chapter news, conference outcomes and reports, and every other relevant initiative from all of those that animate so enthusiastically our Society! I hope you will enjoy this new column, and if you have not done so already, consider volunteering for IEEE AP-S!
