        REPORT OF THE LOUISVILLE SECTION, IEEE
               TO REGION 3, SOUTHEASTCON '99
                       LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY
 
     Submitted by: C. R. Davis, Chair, Louisville Section

The Louisville Section had a successful year in 1998. The section sponsored
technical, administrative, and social meetings in an effort to bring together
the IEEE members in the surrounding area. The Louisville Section presented
awards to outstanding electrical engineering students, provided financial
support to the University of Louisville IEEE Student Branch, and provided
awards for local high school science fairs. The annual summer picnic, the
baseball game with the Louisville Redbirds, as well as a meeting with the
Antique Radio Society were well attended. This gave members an opportunity to
renew old friendships. The December Dinner Meeting and Election featured guest
speaker Tom Jurich, the new Athletic Director of the University of
Louisville.

ITT Technical Institute, Louisville, KY has applied for an IEEE Student
Branch. This will bring on board 41 new student members, and 6 new faculty
members to the Louisville Section. The Computer Society Chapter has been
active hosting several informative lectures. A Chapter of the Power
Engineering Society is being organized for this year. Upcoming spring events
include a tour of IXC Communications and a tour of the new University of
Louisville football stadium.
