2026-2027 ExCom Appointments Nominations Call
Each year, the members of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) nominate several members to the Executive Committee (ExCom) to serve the Society starting at the beginning of the following year. This year, we are calling for nominations for the following officer positions to serve the Society for the 2026-2027 term:
- President-Elect
- Vice President - Technical Activities
- Vice President - Conferences
- Vice President - Regional Activities and Membership
Descriptions of the officer positions, duties, and eligibility criteria can be found in the CASS Constitution and the CASS Bylaws.
CASS is a professional volunteer-based organization. It is essential that we elect energetic and engaged leaders who will organize activities that will meet the needs of the entire Circuits and Systems community and who will guide our Society into the future. As a CASS member, you are in an excellent position to know the strengths of your fellow members and how they can best serve our community. As you consider potential nominees, please take into account that CASS wishes to promote diversity in every possible dimension. As such, CASS would love to receive nominations that also complete the current composition of its Executive Committee with respect to, to name a few, technical, gender, and geographic diversity.
Complete candidate nominations must be received by close of business (5:00 PM EDT (UTC -5:00)) on 20 October 2025, in order to be considered.
Nomination Process
There are two options for adding nominees to the election slate. Nominators should indicate which of the following two options they prefer.
- The first option is to nominate by petition. The CASS Bylaws regarding the nomination petition process states: "Nomination petitions for the officers appointed by the Board of Governors require signatures from at least 22% of the voting members of the Board of Governors (7 voting members of the Board of Governors). The petition must be submitted to the Nominations Committee, together with the biography and position statement of the candidate no later than 28 days prior to the scheduled opening of the appointment ballot." Please contact the Society Operations Manager prior to 7 October 2025 should you care to nominate an individual by petition.
- The second option involves forwarding the nomination to the Nomination's Committee, which may also place candidates on the ballot at its discretion. Forwarded nominations should be submitted to the nomination form, here.

These items include data for the Candidate and the Nominator, a Candidate Photo, a Candidate Position Statement (limited to 150-200 words), and a Candidate Biography (limited to 350 words), which needs to describe the most important contributions of the candidate (for CASS or in other organizations) which makes him/her particularly suitable for the specific position he/she is running for.

IEEE CASS SASD Committee Nominations Open
The IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) Standards Activities Sub Division (SASD) is now accepting nominations for committee members for the 2026-2027 term.
SASD provides core standards for the benefit of the industry including integrated circuit design and test systems, arithmetic, microprocessors, domain-specific accelerators such as error correction coding, video, and AI. These standards help enable the industry to move technology forward at a rapid pace to deliver amazing products to consumers. By working with the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA), IEEE CASS would be able to provide a globally open, inclusive, and transparent environment for market-relevant, voluntary consensus standardization, and other industry consensus activities in the Circuits and Systems area.
The mission of the SASD is to encourage all the relevant stakeholders to participate in standardization activities, to promote the use of IEEE standards, and to develop useful products that leverage IEEE standards within the scope of the CASS. This new initiative also promotes and fosters academic and industry participation by engaging a broader community by drawing members from various IEEE CASS Technical Committees (TC). Also, professionals or AdHoc industry groups who are actively working on standardization activities related to CASS are invited to bring their activities under the umbrella of IEEE CASS SASD to utilize the broader impact of IEEE Standards.
