Letter from the Editor
EMC Newsletter Editor-in-Chief Janet O’Neil is joined by Heyno
Garbe, the new Transactions on EMC Editor-in-Chief, at the
annual IEEE Panel of Editors meeting in New Jersey. Professor
Garbe took the helm on January 1, 2010, succeeding Perry Wilson.
I attended the annual IEEE Panel of Editors meeting on April 23-24,
2010 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. This meeting is held for the editors
of all IEEE publications to learn about the latest developments in IEEE
publications, new publication policies and services available, as well as
where the IEEE stands competitively in the global publications arena.
This year, my colleague Heyno Garbe, the new Transactions on EMC
editor, joined me at the meeting. It may have been a bit overwhelming
for Professor Garbe to attend this meeting for the first time. After all,
the meeting room is set for some 300 people classroom style with a
large stage and screen at the front of the room. Most people attend with
their laptop to follow the presentations on their computer since a CD
is provided of all presentations. There is a table microphone for every
four seats. With the internet access also available, it is one wired meeting!
Breakout sessions are held for the separate publications so Transactions
Editors and Newsletter Editors can meet separately and talk with
their peer editors in order to learn best practices and the like. In the
Peter Tuohy, Director - Periodicals Production Services for IEEE,
gives a presentation at the Panel of Editors meeting regarding the
challenges facing the IEEE traditional newsletter print model.
