Leadership Development Committee Report 18 October 2000 Some progress has been made with the excellent assistance of Chip Dawson in getting the Region 3 Training Manual put up on the web. Portions of the Training Manual dealing with IEEE Organization Structure, the Section Executive Committee Functions, and Section Finance are now available on the web through a Leadership Development link from the Region 3 home page. The Finance Section is new and deals with Concentration Banking and includes Recommended Record Retention Periods for Sections. Integrating the Institute's Leadership and Project Management skills program into the Region 3 program has been delayed due to the postponement of the Institute's dissemination of their information. This is now scheduled for January 20-21, 2001. Charles Lord and I will attend for Region 3 to obtain this information. We have a tentative schedule to present a draft of this material at SoutheastCon '00 at Clemson. The plan to develop a training coordinator for each of the Region 3 Area/Councils has likewise been postponed into 2001 so that this new material can be included. The planned new training program for Section Treasurers is fully outlined and partially developed with the goal still to have this training package available by the end of 2000. The Virginia Council has planned a Section Officer training session forJanuary 2001. K. Reed Thompson, Chair Leadership Development Committee
