Dear Senior Member,

As some of you know, I am the webmaster for the IEEE Hampton Roads site at <http://www.ieee.org/hrs>. I have created what I call "The Hall of Fame" listing all our Fellows and Senior Members. I would like to publish the basic contact information for each of our Senior Members. You know, the kind of stuff you put at the end of your emails: your company, you title, telephone numbers, and email address. If it is not obvious, also include your area of specialization. For most of you, just reply back to this email with your signature block, adding in you IEEE alias if I am not already using it. As an absolute minimum I would like permission to publish you email address, preferably your IEEE alias. All email addresses are disguised using JavaScript which makes them less likely to be harvested by "SPAMbots".

I want this to be a service to you as well as the Section. For you, I have worked to get the site listed with all the local Hampton Roads sites and to make sure if you search for "IEEE Hampton Roads" you get hits on the major search engines. Hopefully this can be viewed you as a little free advertising.

For the section, I believe it provides a knowledge of who we are. I know that everyone can not come to the section meetings on a regular basis. By publishing the Hall of Fame I hope provide a resource for more effective section networking. Members who need services in you area of expertise can contact you on a professional basis. Also this helps our members find references for their own application as Senior Member. I know many of you are retired and no longer see the business exposure. However I am sure that members seeking Senior membership endorsement would appreciate you providing some sort of contact information.

Thanks,
Bill Clayton
