Subject: Savannah Section R3 Report


With the growth of the Internet and electronics industry, it is an exciting
time to be an engineer. I am especially proud of our Region for realizing the
importance of electronic 'e' conferencing. The Savannah Section was fortunate
to receive a wonderful working presentation of e-conferencing by Bill
Ratcliff, our Area 3 representative, and Dave Green, our Region's Secretary.

The Savannah Section has completed another year with a distinct focus on PACE,
telecommunications, and the Internet. Although we are still struggling to draw
more members to our Section meetings, Section communication has improved by
updating our newsletter and adding more detail to our Internet site
'https://www.ewh.ieee.org/r3/savannah'. 

We continue to work towards improving our area schools in the Science and
Engineering Disciplines. Cooperation at the local and district level has
helped encourage technical studies. I would like to thank those IEEE
volunteers and the many teachers that have taken the time to introduce the
profession we find so exciting. Although this is a continuing effort, progress
has already been made as evidenced by the improvement in our local Science
Fair Projects.

I look forward to seeing everyone in Lexington.

Chris Hardy
Savannah Section Chairman
