The IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) Standards Committee (SC) plays a central role in developing, maintaining, and promoting technical standards that support antenna terminology measurements and propagation, modeling practices, and other related topics. This paper provides an overview of current AP-S standardization activities, covering the status of active and emerging projects, the evolution of community engagement strategies, and the operational challenges facing volunteer-driven standards development. Recent outreach efforts, collaboration with related societies and the committee’s recognition program are also discussed.
