Message from the UFFC-S President

The Society is leaving behind a challenging period, skillfully navigated by former presidents Paul Reynolds and Mark Schafer. The introduction of the Volunteers Engagement Committee has significantly strengthened the Society's operations. The continued policy of remote access to our flagship conferences has enabled colleagues who could not participate in-person for various reasons to present their work; in 2023, remote participation rate reached approximately 20 to 30%.

The Society's efforts in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion have gained recognition at the IEEE level. We have initiated Regional Conferences, with the first one held online for Latin America, supporting colleagues from this often underrepresented region. The Open Journal of UFFC-S has commenced its operations. Additionally, we've supported several non-IEEE conferences aligned with our core activities, particularly those with strong industrial participation, fostering collaboration beyond our IEEE circle. The Catavault depository for conference talks and educational videos was launched at the end of 2023.

In the next two years, we will continue to build on these solid foundations, following the best practices of our past presidents while introducing new initiatives. The upcoming period will present new challenges, including organization of the UFFC Joint Symposium in Taipei in September 2024. Every ten years, our three flagship conferences representing Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control sections meet to celebrate our common background and current overlapping activities. In 2024, the joint meeting will coincide with the celebration of the Society's 70th anniversary.
