Hey all, Well, it looks like I’m the President of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society for 2022-2023. Talk about your “hard act to follow!” I have great admiration and affection for Bernadette Bouchon-Meunier who led us through the unprecedented time of the COVID-19 pandemic with such grace and acumen. I have been fortunate to have worked with her over the years in several capacities, have had an inside view of CIS as her President-elect in 2021, but most of all to be able to call her “mon amie”. She’ll continue to provide leadership as past president in 2022 to my great relief. Bernadette followed a long line of dedicated and innovative Presidents; CIS has been fortunate for their leadership. Now it’s my turn “in the barrel”. The good news for me (and for you!) is that we have a large cast of extremely talented folks who carry the brunt of the organizational load. The Vice Presidents are energic and committed. Besides Finance, Publications, Conferences, Technical Activities, Education, and Membership, 2022 will see a VP in new focus area, Industry and Government Activities. The leadership of the CIS standing committees, subcommittees, ad hoc committees, EiCs and AEs, and conference chairs do so much to ensure that all goes well within CIS. Also, we are blessed with 3 outstanding IEEE staff members who keep the wheels of CIS rolling smoothly.

《捉鬼敢死队》和 CIS [主席致辞]


大家好，好吧，看来我是 IEEE 计算智能协会 2022-2023 年主席了。谈谈你的“难以遵循的行为！”我对 Bernadette Bouchon-Meunier 充满钦佩和喜爱，她以如此优雅和敏锐的方式带领我们度过了前所未有的 COVID-19 大流行时期。多年来，我很幸运能够在多个职位上与她共事，作为 2021 年候任主席，对 CIS 有深入的了解，但最重要的是能够称她为“mon amie”。 2022 年，她将作为前任总统继续发挥领导作用，这让我松了一口气。伯纳黛特 (Bernadette) 跟随一长串敬业和创新的总统。 CIS 很幸运有他们的领导力。现在轮到我“在桶里”了。对我（和你！）来说，好消息是我们有一大批非常有才华的人，他们首当其冲地承担着组织的重担。副总统们精力充沛、尽职尽责。除了财务、出版、会议、技术活动、教育和会员之外，2022 年还将在新的重点领域、行业和政府活动中出现副总裁。 CIS 常务委员会、小组委员会、特设委员会、EiC 和 AE 以及会议主席的领导层为确保 CIS 内的一切顺利进行发挥了巨大作用。此外，我们有幸拥有 3 位杰出的 IEEE 工作人员，他们使 CIS 的车轮顺利运转。
