Iwao Sasase
Candidate's Statement
I believe that the main roles of ComSoc’s publications and conferences are to fulfill various needs for members in both industry and academia by providing access to high-quality technical information, the opportunity to discuss state-of-the-art communication technologies from various aspects, as well as establishing and keeping human networks of professionals throughout the world. For ComSoc's continuing growth and globalization, I would like to provide more opportunities for student participation, and devise new value incentives, especially for students and industrial members.
Another objective is to improve cooperation with sister societies and strengthen local chapters around the world to allow more opportunities for disseminating novel ideas from various communications research communities.
