［所信表明］

ICTの飛躍的な進歩は世界をボーダーレス化し，産業構造にも大きな変革を与えています。地球温暖化，少子高齢化など，以前は考えられなかったような問題も浮上し，我々は従来の価値観の転換を迫られている状況です。電子情報通信学会は，100年以上の歴史を誇る日本最大級の学会ですが，このような社会の動きは会員数減など目に見える形で本学会にも影響を与えています。このような時代に本学会がその存在感を国内外に示し続けるには，自分の専門に集中するだけではなく，多角的な視点で学会を運営していくことが必要と考えます。本学会がこれからも持続的に発展するために，監査役として微力ながら最善を尽くしたいと考えます。

［Statement］

The dramatic progress of ICT has made the world borderless, and has revolutionized the industrial structure. Problems such as global warming and declining birthrate, which were not considered before, have emerged and forced us to change our conventional values. IEICE, which is one of the largest societies in Japan, lasting for more than 100 years, is also influenced by such social movements in a visible way such as a decrease in the number of members. In these circumstances, I think it is quite important not only to concentrate on our specialties but also to manage this society from a multifaceted perspective, in order to show our presence in the world. I would like to do my best as an auditor to realize the sustainable growth of this society.
