Dear Yuguang:

On  18  June  2005, the IEEE Regional Activities Board (RAB) recognized the
IEEE  Gainesville Section as a recipient of the 2004 RAB Section Membership
Growth  Award  for  their success for Outstanding Leadership and Results in
IEEE Membership Development Activities for Region 3.

Each  year  a  Section  in each Region is recognized as having achieved the
highest  rate  of  growth.   The  greatest  level  of  growth is based on a
composite  rating,  considering  the  highest  percentage  of  increase  in
membership and highest increase in new elections relative to other Sections
in  good  standing  within  each  Region.   Each  recipient shall receive a
certificate.

We  will  be  contacting  William  Harrison,  2005  Region  3  Director, to
coordinate  an  appropriate event to present the award to you. In the past,
RAB award presentations have occurred at Section/Region meetings or similar
local  events.  We  will  contact  you  after  consultation  with  Director
Harrison.

On  behalf  of the entire IEEE Regional Activities Board, please convey our
congratulations  to  the  IEEE Gainesville Section for having achieved this
honor.


Sincerely,

Marc T. Apter
Chair, IEEE Regional Activities Board
