President's Column
Broadly, our Information Theory Society is about our people, the ideas those people generate, and the impact those people and their ideas have: people, ideas, impact. I thought then I might dedicate this initial column to talking about our members, and some of the key ways the Society supports their ideas and their impact — through publications and events. I want to give some sense of statistics, some sense of recent accomplishments, and I want to indicate some initiatives that members might find interesting to get involved in.
