Communications Committee Report for Region 3 Meeting April 5-7,
2002

The Communications Committee continues to meet regularly via
e-conferencing and extends an open invitation to join us.  The
e-Conferencing Ad Hoc Committee web site contains information about
the meeting schedules, references to the guidelines and other
background information.  https://www.ewh.ieee.org/reg/3/e-conf/

The Region 3 Communications Committee is dedicated to "serving the
needs of the members and volunteers in Region 3 and the Institute". We
need to know what challenges you face in communicating with your
varied constituencies.  The annual meeting at SoutheastCon is a great
opportunity to establish a dialog so we encourage you to send a
representative from your section and fully participate in the
discussions.

Newsletters and web sites are a reality in most sections within the
region. So, by sharing experiences we can help each other.  Bring your
ideas and expertise to the meetings at SoutheastCon.
