Martin Kaliski, Candidate for Chair
     I wish to continue as Section Chair for the same reasons that I began the San Luis Obispo Subsection in 1994—to send out a clear message to the world that there is meaningful professional activity going on in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties (including Vandenberg).  Our industrial sites may be physically small and geographically scattered, but they are there.  One could well argue, in fact, that this model of engineering activity is a meaningful model for the future—the Internet has, in many ways, rendered the need for massive industrial parks obsolete.  My goal is to foster and nurture regular activities in all three of our geographical loci and to involve students and faculty from our excellent local universities and community colleges.  The Central Coast is now on the IEEE map and I will work hard to keep it there.

Ali Shaban, Candidate for Secretary
     I have been the secretary of the Subsection and then Section for the last five years. I will do my best as Secretary to carry on the success that we are having here on the Central Coast.

Jerome Skarnulis, Candidate for Treasurer
     I wish to continue as Treasurer of the Section to finish the job of consolidation.  We have merged the different sections into a much more cohesive unit.  I have streamlined the financial processes and put them all on a PC.  We have adopted budget guidelines for the Section.  I look forward to a year that will reap the benefits of our sound financial planning.

PACE Coordinator
 There is no candidate for the PACE Coordinator position.

John Armstrong, Candidate for Computer Chapter Chair
     I am running for Computer Chair to focus my attention on our technical societies for the coming year. I joined the Computer Society in 1978 in order to receive their excellent publications and to network with other professionals in the computer industry.
     Unfortunately, the Central Coast Chapter of the Computer Society has not been as active in recent years as it should be to serve our members. We are few, only 229 active members, and we are spread out from Carpenteria to Paso Robles. However, by working with our local Universities and with the IEEE Central Coast Section, we should be able to multiply our effectiveness in service to our professional growth.
     As the L.A. Council Chapters Chair, I will be responsible for helping promote the activities of all the IEEE societies in the L.A. area; but I especially want to see Computer activities here on the Central Coast.

     Calling your attention to two computer conferences coming up this year here on the Central Coast:
    (see https://www.computer.org/conferences/calendar.htm)
