Dear ECEDHA Members, Industry Partners, and Colleagues,
The new semester is underway, and so are ECEDHA's transformational plans. The past year has been a momentous one for the organization, and the upcoming year promises to be even more so. In this issue of ECE source, we are pleased to feature our newly elected President Dan Stancil (NCSU) who has summarized the many ongoing initiatives aimed at advancing ECE, and outgoing President Khalil Najafi (U. Michigan), who has shared his reflections on a very successful past year.
A special welcome goes out to all newly appointed ECE department heads. ECEDHA is here to serve you. I know how it feels to move to a new department and start a new career path. Below, I have taken this opportunity to reflect on my first year as a new chair, and jot down some advice that I wish I had received.

A Message from the President

As President of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Heads Association (ECEDHA), I am proud to see our Association leading the path for the advancement of ECE. Over the last several years, ECEDHA has significantly expanded its activities to include initiatives designed to make significant impacts on the future of ECE.
Although led by department heads and chairs, the scope of our organization has expanded to include other academic leaders and leaders from industry as well. Together we are working to embrace and support the ECE community as a whole. Through these efforts, ECEDHA has emerged as a major driving force focused solely on advocating for the future of ECE.

Because of your continued support, active participation, and creative ideas, ECEDHA has been going through a transformation to continue to support your efforts in charting a new path for ECE.
As past president, I have had the privilege to work with many of you and with the dedicated staff and leadership of ECEDHA during the past year to help in this transformation. These are challenging and exciting times for all of us, and the next few years will be instrumental in articulating and further establishing the importance of ECE to the future of every aspect of our lives, just as the past few decades of ECE have revolutionized our society.

Call for Nominations: Editorial Board Members and Guest Editors
The ECEDHA newsletter invites nominations for new editorial board members to join our team. We are also interested in nominations for Guest Editors who are interested in creating special issues of our

Editorial board members and guest editors are typically current/recent ECE department heads, or associate department chairs who are interested in sharing ideas, advances, and experiences that are potentially of broad interest to their peers and ECE faculty. The range of topics is broad, reflecting the nature of our discipline. The agendas of recent and future ECEDHA annual conferences are an excellent guide on the types of topics that we typically focus on. We welcome new topics that have not been discussed before, and diverse opinions on matters affecting ECE departments. We are particularly interested in descriptions of cutting-edge initiatives at ECE departments worldwide.
