In this issue of the newsletter, we begin with a column by our society’s President, Aaron Wagner. We congratulate the members of the society who have been elevated to the grade of ����logo Fellow in 2026. We also congratulate the new members in the Board of Governors and also the named lecturers of 2026 (including Padovani Lecturer, Goldsmith Lecturer and Distinguished Lecturers). Next, we present a report on a workshop organized at ISIT 2025. We also feature the following calls: (i) Call for Nominations: ����logo Richard W. Hamming Medal (ii) Call for Editor-in-Chief BITS Magazine (iii) Call for 2026 Award Nominations. Subsequently, we provide the minutes from the Board of Governors meeting held in November. As usual, we conclude with the call for papers and conference calendar.
