Are you ready to attend the premier IEEE event in Region 3's Southeast? SoutheastCon is our annual event brings together Electrical and Computer Engineering professionals, faculty and students to share information through technical sessions, tutorials, and exhibits. It also provides an opportunity for the leadership of our IEEE Region to meet face-to-face and address issues that determine the future of IEEE within the southeastern United States and Jamaica. George Cook and his SoutheastCon 2000 Conference Committee have organized what should be another outstanding conference. They have worked long and hard over the past two years in attempting to make SoutheastCon 2000 one of the best in our history as a Region. As you can see from the SoutheastCon agenda a variety of meetings, training sessions, and other events have been planned for the professional member, student, and regional leadership that should provide you with an opportunity to attend and participate in this enjoyable and interesting happening. We look like we have a full plate for all. In an effort to conserve time and to make our face-to-face meetings more effective the Region 3 Executive Committee (ExCom) will hold our Caucus on Saturday night April 1 at 9:00 - 11:00 PM via e-conference. Dave Green, Region 3 ExCom Secretary has forwarded the ExCom members the necessary connection instructions and the agenda. We will discussing several important issues that will result in Action Items and the Consent Agenda for our ExCom face-to-face meeting at SoutheastCon on Saturday, April 8, 9:00 -11:00 PM. During my term as your Director I have adopted the following goals: [1] To do all that I can to improve the relationship between our Region and the Technical Societies. [2] To assist our inactive or dormant Sections and Chapters in rejuvenation. [3] To improve our communications between the region's leadership and the region members. [4] To insure that the region remains the premier region in IEEE by providing the necessary training for our leadership and adopting initiatives that will insure our success. I hope that you will join me in achieving these goals. I am looking forward to seeing you at SoutheastCon 2000. Dick ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard L.
