To IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Members [President's Message]

ABSTRACT

It is my deep honor and pleasure to serve as the 2023 president of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). I would like to thank all IEEE AP-S members for their support for my election. After the difficult period of COVID-19, the situation is gradually returning to normality. We are again back to conferences in person and live meetings. This simplifies my job with respect to the one of my predecessors, Prof. Yahia Antar (president in 2021) and Gianluca Lazzi (president in 2022). They have done an incredible job in the past years leading the Society during an anomalous period. I thank Yahia for his encouragement and advice and for the work he is continuing to do in promoting the Society all over the world through new initiatives. A special thanks to Gianluca for his outstanding leadership, for his work and service, for the excellent ideas and initiatives he carried out during his term, and mostly for helping me in understanding the various aspects of the Society. I am very thankful for his support, suggestions, and friendship.
