Technology is rapidly evolving in computing and computing engineering; this continuously creates new opportunities for the advancement of science and humanity, but it also poses new scientific challenges. To maintain its leading role, the IEEE Computer Society (CS) must incorporate a dynamic evolution in all activities, products, and services, for the benefit of its members and humanity. To meet this challenge, one year ago, in the Computer January 2019 issue, I presented member satisfaction and technical excellence as targets for my presidential year. Now, at the end of 2019, I am very glad and proud to announce that, with the cooperation of all CS constituencies and the IEEE, we have been able to hit all of them, and much more. Particularly, at the beginning of 2019, together with the CS Board of Governors and staff, we defined the following shared goals to enable the CS to hit these targets: 1) increase member satisfaction; 2) enhance diversity, in gender, age, geographic location, and industry/academic affiliation; 3) boost technical excellence in all activities; 4) improve financial sustainability and transparency. Let me describe in more detail how we were able to reach each one of these goals.

Abstract
Technology is rapidly evolving in computing and computing engineering; this continuously creates new opportunities for the advancement of science and humanity, but it also poses new scientific challenges. To maintain its leading role, the IEEE Computer Society (CS) must incorporate a dynamic evolution in all activities, products, and services, for the benefit of its members and humanity. To meet this challenge, one year ago, in the Computer January 2019 issue, I presented member satisfaction and technical excellence as targets for my presidential year. Now, at the end of 2019, I am very glad and proud to announce that, with the cooperation of all CS constituencies and the IEEE, we have been able to hit all of them, and much more. Particularly, at the beginning of 2019, together with the CS Board of Governors and staff, we defined the following shared goals to enable the CS to hit these targets: 1) increase member satisfaction; 2) enhance diversity, in gender, age, geographic location, and industry/academic affiliation; 3) boost technical excellence in all activities; 4) improve financial sustainability and transparency. Let me describe in more detail how we were able to reach each one of these goals.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
