(logo)      Jamaica Section Report


The following is a report on the Jamaica Section for July 1997 - Present.

Conference / Seminar
Following the successful staging of  the international conference (JamCon 95) in Jamaica, August 1995, similar plans were made for JamCon 98. The response to our Call For   Papers was poor, hence the decision was made to cancel.

A local One-day Seminar is being planned for the Second quarter of 1998.

Leadership Training
Jim Beall has agreed to conduct training in Jamaica during May, 1998.

Students Activities
Of the required twenty one (21) students needed for the launching of this branch, eleven (11) have paid up. Another ten (10) is required. Plan is in place to participate in scheduled campus activities to achieve the targeted number.

The University of the West Indies (UWI) research graduate students received a hard drive from the Jamaica Section.

NewsLetter
Publication was done during the first quarter. Publication for the second quarter is in progress.
