［所信表明］
電子情報通信は，社会に及ぼすインパクトが大きく，現代社会のバックボーンとしてICTを支える不可欠な技術となっています．現在ではICTを活用したコネクテッドサービス（IoT）で大きな社会変革が胎動しようとしています．IoTは一例ですが，電子情報通信学会/本ソサイエティは潜在力で様々な領域に貢献可能と考えています．単独技術からコネクテッドへの移行を一層進める必要があり，国内外の関連学会と連携し共に発展するWin-Winモデルを考えたいと思います．また，現在進められている会員にとって魅力あるエレソの再建活動を継続していきます．これらのため，次の項目を重点的に推し進めたいと考えております．　
　�@エレソ内の連携のみに限らず関連学会との協力推進
　�A産官学の協力体制推進
　�B国際化
　�C会員目線に立った研究会の実現を目指した改革の前進
これらの活動を通じて，30年に亘りお世話になってきた本ソサイエティ発展に微力ながら貢献して行きたいと思います．

[Statement]
The united technologies based on electronics, information and communication has been indispensable to support modern ICT (Information and Communication technology). The connected-service like IoT has been intensively investigated　by the best use of ICT, and IoT was recognized as “Industry 4.0”, which can bring the big impact to the future society. The IEICE/Electronics Society (ES) have lots of potential technology fields which can contribute the sustainable society in addition to IoT. The ES, however, needs to be connected with other technology fields both within ES and other scientific institutes for taking a step forward, which eventually results in win-win relation. At the same time, I would like to continue the re-structuring the society so that all the members can enjoy the benefit of the membership. I especially focus on the following tasks.
　- Collaboration with other technology fields both within ES and other scientific institutes
　- collaboration between industry, government, and academia
　- Promotion activity in Asia
　- Society operation from a member point of view
