Swail To: r3-excom2000@ieee.org Subject: Communications Committee Report - 29 Jan 2000 ExCom Communications Committee Report - 29 Jan 2000 ExCom First, let me send a special thanks to Lee Stogner (mailto:l.stogner@ieee.org) for a job well done as the recent Chair of our committee. Lee has several new duties within IEEE-USA to keep him busy during the coming year. Lee will remain an active member of our committee as the chair of the Public Information Subcommittee. Second, I would like to announce the appointment of Chip Dawson (mailto:c.t.dawson@ieee.org) as our committee's Vice Chair. Chip has already brought new energy to our group. He is leading the effort to redesign our Region 3 website. Welcome aboard, Chip! Brian Skelton (mailto:b.skelton@ieee.org) will continue as our Newsletter Editor until he can successfully pass the torch to Ms. Joey Duvall (mailto:j.duvall@ieee.org). Vernon Powers (mailto:v.powers@ieee.org) will also continue as the lead for the Region 3 Archive (parallels his role as History Committee Chair). With the addition of Chip and Joey, we are well on our way to completing our succession planning. Although our 2000 goals have not been finalized, here are a few of our more immediate projects ... 1. e-Newsletter 2. Region 3 website redesign 3. Majordomo list guidelines Thanks.
