New Business

Central Savannah Section had a meeting 25 May, with 18 members present. D. Mills covered some engineering issues about IEEE Colorbooks and NEC proposed changes. The group brainstormed ideas for future meetings. There are volunteers for officers but haven't held a vote yet. Once a treasurer is in place, will begin trying to acquire the funds the section already has.

SECon '02 funding. A motion was introduced to fund SECon '02 $1000 for seed money. In the event the conference makes a profit, Council will share in profits proportional to seed money. Motion carried unanimously.

The link from IEEE National's website to SC Council's website was in error, but has now been fixed by Allen Thomas. A. Thomas will look into linking student section web sites to Council's page.

R. Coleman brought up we need to start now working on awards, which are due in November, and the plans for the student paper contact in February. A discussion about participating in the Joint Council Engineering Conference ended with the decision that it would drain resources from the SECon Committee, but will be discussed at the next meeting.

We updated contact information for the Executive Committee. The updated version is attached. Anyone knowing of other updates that need to occur, please contact Nancy Gunderson.
