This issue begins with a President’s column, which is followed by extending our heartfelt congratulations to the distinguished members of our society who have received prestigious awards and honors. Following this, we present two reports on recent activities within our society: (i) 2024 Munich Workshop on Coding and Cryptography and (ii) 2024 Munich Workshop on Shannon Coding Techniques. We also present a summary of the 2024 Sequences and Their Applications (SETA) conference, which was successfully held at University of Essex, UK.�� Subsequently, we provide the minutes from the Board of Governors meeting held in February. Finally, we conclude with the conference calendar and call to action.
