From: Susan Dugas Subject: IEEE Atlanta Section Report for Region 3 Meeting To: Region 3 Committee / EXCOM Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 13:46:54 -0500 Atlanta Section Report for annual Region meeting (SouthEast Con 2001) 16 March 2001 Susan Dugas, Chair Atlanta Section Officers for 2001 Chair - Susan Dugas Vice Chair - David Millard Treasurer - Bill Marshall Secretary - Chase Dunbar Circuit Editor - John Astleford Director Student Chapters - Mary Lynn Smith Director Society Chapters I - Steve Nichols Director Society Chapters II - Andy Peterson Director Communications - James Zhou Director Professional Activities - Patrick Stanley Director Membership - currently open Atlanta Section Activities The Atlanta Section held our first ExCom meeting March 1st and attendance was high. It appears we are off to a good start for the year: - Our Annual Banquet is planned for April 19th to introduce the incoming officers, thank the outgoing officers, and hand out or announce any awards. - We are also in the process of planning our spring Section-wide activity - an overview of the Georgia DOT's Advanced Transportation Management System. If we're lucky, we may convince them to provide some technical detail on the communications and networking setup. - After a few false starts, we now have a volunteer for editor of the Atlanta Circuit, our Section newsletter. The Atlanta Circuit has gone unpublished for over a year. Our new editor has some experience with putting out inexpensive newsletters and appears eager to get started. We hope to mail out our first issue in early April. - We have been using the SAMIEEE membership database for Atlanta Section mailings for several years now. With the new software provided by IEEE to manage the database and generate queries and reports and with the updates available online, it has become much easier to manage the database. The Atlanta Section is now ready to share the membership information with the Atlanta Society Chapters. The desire is to allow the Chapters to keep up with new members and to use the data to revitalize inactive Chapters. Anyone that wants to keep up with the Atlanta Section is encouraged to go to our website, which is regularly updated with events and is full of contact information.
