From: RHarris995@aol.com Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 1998 8:23 AM To: r3-excom1998@ieee.org Subject: Fall EXCOM Report - Special Review Committee 10/16/98 Special Review Committee Report to Fall Executive Committee Meeting >From Roy H. Harris Chair The Region 3 Operations Manual states that each of the Standing Committees shall be reviewed once every four years. Further, that the Special Review Committee will delve into the effectiveness, continued need, policies, procedures, action, composition, budget considerations, and any other aspects of the committee being reviewed as appropriate. The committee review will normally be based on Standing Committee documentation for the previous four years and it is imperatilve that all Standing Committee Chairs maintain sufficient documentation and records to facilitate an effective committee review. The Operations Manual states that the Special Review Committee will provide a written final report with recommendations to the Region 3 Director with copy to the chair of the reviewed committee, ten days prior to lthe fall Executive Committee Meeting. Three committees have currently been assigned to Review Committees. For various reasons, none of these will meet the deadline of getting the report to the Committee Chair under review 10 days prior to the Executive Committee Meeting. Status of committee review activity for 1998 is as follows: Educational Activities - Final Report to Excom 1/98 - Complete Student Activities - Waiting on data package from Chairman Pat Donohoe Conference - Waiting on data package from Chairman Jim Howard Communications - In progress, should be complete this month. As you can see, the largest problem has been getting the current Chair to provide the documentation to the Review Committee. We are all busy, but somehow we have to do the paperwork associated with the positions that we accept for the Region. I urge the committee chairs envolved to get the data package in as soon as possible so that we can get back on schedule with our reviews.
