The AdCom oversees the operation of the Society, sets policy and direction and has fiscal and budgetary responsibility. Currently the AdCom meets twice a year, with the ISSCC in February and in August. Elected AdCom members are expected to attend these meetings. In addition, much of the committee work is carried on by email, telephone, and fax throughout the year.

The Solid-State Circuits Society currently sponsors The Journal of Solid-State Circuits, The International Solid-State Circuits Conference, the Custom Integrated Circuits Conference, the VLSI Circuits Symposium, and the Solid-State Circuits and Technology Committee's workshops. In addition, the Society cosponsors or technically cosponsors a number of other conferences and meetings and is involved with other publications.

The SSCS needs enthusiastic and involved members on its AdCom. It is an interesting and valuable experience to the members and of great important to the success of the Society.
