Dear Members of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society,

As the new 2024-2025 President of IEEE CASS, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our dedicated members, diligent volunteers, and visionary past Presidents. This year marks an important milestone: the 75th Anniversary of CASS, a journey that began in 1949 with the Circuit Theory Group of the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE). Our transition to IEEE in 1963 is a testament to our enduring legacy and one that our members should celebrate with justifiable pride.

Milestones and Innovations: Reflecting on Our Journey 
Our Society has achieved remarkable growth over the past 75 years. Today, we have over 13,744 members as of December, publish seven top-tier journals, and host nine major conferences annually. We proudly provide over 20 financial sponsorships (FS) and over 25 technical co-sponsorships (TCS) to various conferences. To celebrate our 75th Anniversary, we are preparing special events and gifts for ISCAS and regional conference attendees. Additionally, we are enhancing our training resources, including training videos and updates to “A Short History of Circuits and Systems.”

Embrace New Technologies: Expanding Our Horizons
CASS is continuously adapting to rapid advances in technology. Recent initiatives include launching new international conferences such as ISICAS (2018) and AICAS (2019), now the CASS Premier Flagship Conferences, starting in 2022. We are also pioneering new workshops such as FoodCAS, BrainCAS, NeuroCAS, and AutoCAS. This expansion coincides with significant improvements in journal and conference quality, reflected in rising Journal Impact Factors (JIFs) across our publications.
