A perspective on the IEEE landscape: recent changes and future directions [the president's page]

In summary, it is paramount that Societies work together to assure that the management of products and services is satisfactory to them, that decisions made at the corporate level enable them to be financially viable, and that their volunteers continue to be motivated. There is an urgent need for more volunteers who are willing to devote their time to work in partnership with those of other S/Cs to guarantee that IEEE's overall Technical Activities unit operates successfully from both professional and business perspectives, thus allowing the overall IEEE organization to continue to provide outstanding services to its members, the profession and to humanity.
