From DCC4@aol.com Fri Mar 31 15:48:22 2000 Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2000 11:32:56 EST From: DCC4@aol.com To: d.green@ieee.org, r3-excom2000@ieee.org, sec-r03@ieee.org Subject: Past Director's Report To: Executive Committee and Region 3 Committee Fr: Dale Caston, Past Director Year 2000 should be an exciting year for IEEE. The Institute's Finance Committee will continue to examine methods to solve the financial situation that will become very acute in the year or two. The Institute as a whole is in good financial shape, but funds (present and/or future) may have to be re-distributed to care for the core fiscal needs at Piscataway. Hopefully, a plan that will be agreeable to the Board of Directors (Dick Riddle is our Delegate) can be developed and adopted. We are looking forward to another successful E-conference at the EXCOM Caucus on 1 April 2000. This is a good way to conserve time at Southeastcon in Nashville. Each Region 3 Section should have a representative at the Region meeting in Nashville and that Representative should make a report about the events and actions taken to his/her Section. Also, if you have suggestions for any of the following Regional Activities Positions for 2001, please let Dick Riddle know by 15 April 2000 so he can consider recommending the names to the RAB Nominating Committee. > The RAB Nominations and Appointments Committee is seeking nominations > for the following positions. > > * Vice President - Regional Activities > * Vice Chair - Member Activities > * Vice Chair - Region, Section and Chapter Activities > * Vice Chair - Strategic Planning > * Vice Chair - Student Activities > * RAB Treasurer Dale
