Victor Frost

Candidate's Statement

Maintaining relevance is a key issue facing the Communications Society: relevance of our work to society, relevance of our conferences and publications to both industry and academia, relevance of our efforts to the next generation of engineers who will work in the communications industry. My goal will be to increase the value of ComSoc to its constituents. I will pursue this goal by aiming all the activities of the Communications Society toward providing maximum benefit to its members and stakeholders including industry, academia, and society.
