Abstract :
It has been a great privilege to have served as the president of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) over the past two years (2010–2011). According to the Society´s Bylaws, I was an ex-officio member of all SPS boards and committees, in addition to chairing the Board of Governors and the Executive Committee. Therefore, I have become well aware of the incredible energy, creativity, and dedication of the Society´s volunteers in moving SPS to greater heights of success and leadership, scientifically and professionally. The SPS is blessed with V2: volunteers with verve. The Society´s future is, indeed, bright.
