Ieee Mas Link IEEE MAS LINK Vol. 16 No. 4 September - October2019 Chairman’sMessage Message fromEditor Student branch activities IEEE MAS LINK Vol. 16 No.4 September – October, 2019 Page 1 Message from Chairman Greetings and my warm wishes, second edition of the monthly newsletter edition. I am glad to inform that Susan K. Land, IEEE Fellow has been chosen as 2020 IEEE president. She will begin serving as president on 1st January 2021. IEEE is seeking article submissions for its new gold fully open access journals. These articles being made open access through the payment of an article processing charge by the author, which will publish articles within the specialized field of interest of the sponsoring society like journals, committed to helping further scientific research and supporting accessibility to technological information. IEEE Standards an Association (SA) is dedicated to providing a high-quality, globally open, market-relevant consensus-building environment, where great minds work to develop leading-edge technology standards. I foresee the many industries require collaboration with professionals to form a SA network, feel that the professional enrichment will be more effective apart from their routine research programs. The R10 membership statistics are encouraging but still IEEE Madras section needs to focus on further enhancing the membership, not only for the sake of revenue-generating but rather encourage the senior and young professionals, students, retired professionals to join the IEEE family for keeping themselves active and up-to-date in their professional life with the latest trends in the technology. Activities of our IEEE MAS, Student branch Congress was held during 20th and 21st of Sep, 2019., Student Branch Congress was held at SRM University, Mr. S.
