The IEEE Columbus Computer and Communications Societies are planning on merging this year. This will result in a Joint Society. This is largely an administrative function, in that the reporting and financial management will be consolidated. The leadership of these two groups is committed to maintaining the same high-quality programs to which their membership has been accustomed. We believe this is a good move, in that the Computer and ComSoc domains of interest are closely aligned. Events in either of the two Societies are likely to be of interest to the other.

Membership in any or both of the two Societies at renewal time will make you a member of the joint local society.

At this time, we are looking for comments/questions from the Section membership, and especially the Computer and Communications Societies about their thoughts about this move. Please direct your comments to the Society chairs:

Computer - Linda Bingham - computer@ieeecolumbus.org
