From DHILL@ppd.uky.edu Thu Dec 2 20:21:31 1999 Date: Thu, 2 Dec 1999 13:44:20 -0500 From: "Hill, Donald W" To: "Region 3 PAOC (E-mail)" , "Reg 3 PACE (E-mail)" , "Region 3 Excomm 99 (E-mail)" Subject: PAOC Report for Dec 4, 1999 EXCOM Meeting Report of Professional Activities Operating Committee December 4, 1999 I would like to thank all the members of our PAOC and the PACE representatives for their hard work this year. At this meeting, we plan to incorporate the Region's goals into our PAOC's goals for the year. Nationally, the PAOC needs to represent the Region and its members with more participation in 2000. We will ask each committee representative to become a bit more active in their parallel committee in the IEEE-USA office. Vernon Powers plans to take the resume project through the alpha and beta stages in 2000, then make the product available to all members that need the service. Vernon is always looking for good volunteers to move this project to completion. Please step up for an assignment. This year numerous section and area PACE representatives prepared two important lists: the section's accomplishments for the past year and the plans for the coming year. Now is the time for each of us to execute these plans. The exercise of looking back and forward at our local sections strengthens our programs and the members we serve. Carl Hussey will contact PACE representatives to encourage a greater Engineer's Day participation of engineers in local elementary and secondary school systems. Your efforts may encourage brightest students to become engineers. Future years' funding for PACE activities is under major discussion at the Board level. Please present your thoughts to Board members that are known to you. Respectfully, Don Hill, Chair
