Duggan, Jr. * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] -- 1-24-99 From: Robert S. Duggan, Jr., Strategic Planning Chair To: Reg3 ExCom Subject: SPC Report for R3 ExCom Meeting 1-31-99 ===================================================================== The Institute, IEEE-USA, and RAB have now completed their respective Strategic Plans. Where feasible, our Region 3 Plan supports and complements these larger umbrella plans. At our October meeting in Jackson, MS the ExCom approved the Region 3 Plan. Subsequent to our October meeting, the Strategic Planning Committee (SPC ) has undertaken a special project -- an "e-Retreat" on the future priorities of Region 3. With everything being handled by e-mail, budget savings are significant. Project leader Bill Ratcliff has generated thought provoking questions, with numerous responses and inputs from SPC and several ExCom members. The results (ranked priorities for the Region) will be discussed and shared at the January SPC and ExCom meetings. The methodology is available to any interested IEEE group. As we look forward to 1999, your SPC appreciates your support and suggestions in helping Region 3 continue to lead the Institute in planning, in new initiatives, and above all in meeting the needs and aspirations of our members. ====================================================================== Bob Duggan, SPC Chair -- Robert S.
