Central Georgia IEEE Section SoutheastConfernce07 Trip Report
IEEE SouthEastConference07 Chair Report
WOW !! Myself; Past Chair, Curtis Lee; and Membership Chair, Adam Wofford, attended IEEE
SouthEastConference07 at Richmond VA on the 23rd through the 25th
March 2007. The opportunity to network, receive IEEE professional training,
attend presentations of leading-edge technology papers, and conduct the
IEEE section's business were Outstanding. IEEE is the largest
professional organization in the world. IEEE has over 380,000 members,
in over 150 countries, with over 30 technical societies. IEEE
SouthEastConference07 was an opportunity for our region, region 3 to
host the conference and provide all of the benefits mentioned, and many
others.
We supported the Mercer University in its robotic and software
competitions. The Mercer teams did Great, and Mercer came in 4th
overall in a field with some really tough competition. Congratulations
to the Mercer Robotics Team, who is also presenting their work at our
upcoming 23 April/Mon IEEE meeting at Mercer Univiversity, Engineering Department, Room 210 at
6:30 PM. Thanks to Mercer University Student Chair Ginger Rahn for hosting
and assisting with the work to set this meeting up.
The 25th Anniversary for the Central GA IEEE Section (That's us). We
received a beautiful IEEE 25th Anniversary Banner, on an Oak Pole, to
display at our section meetings. I accepted the 25th Anniversary
banner
for our Section at the awards banquet held on Sat night (the 24th of March). I
was
honored to accept the banner for All Central GA section members, and
would like to Thank and recognize the Hard Work of All who came before
us, that enable us to be where we are today. Let us all strive to do
Our Best, during Our Watch, as the Others before us have.
Also, we are planning to host a 25th Anniversary Central GA Section
party/social--so if you have ideas, please let me hear them.
There are many other really great things to discuss, but in the
interest
of brevity, I'll keep it short. Suffice it to say, your section's
attendance at IEEE SouthEastConference07 was time well spent, and
directly enables us to receive the training and support we need to
better serve our IEEE membership.
