2003 Region 3 Director-Elect Report, Plans, Goals & Objectives

1.	Assist and support the Region 3 Director in the general
  	supervision and internal management of the affairs of Region 3.
2.	Communicate with and meet with Area/Council Chairs and Standing
  	Committee Chairs to ensure maximum effectiveness of Sections,
  	Chapters and Student Branches in serving the Region membership.
3.	Represent the Regional Activities Board on the IEEE Meetings &
  	Services Committee.
4.	Continue to chair, support and champion the Region 3 Corporate
  	Communications Ad Hoc Committee until a new chair can be recruited
  	for that activity.
5.	Complete Ad Hoc Committee project under the auspices of the Region
  	3 Strategic Planning Committee.  As reported previously, this ad
  	hoc group is looking at possible inconsistencies between the roles
  	of, and voting by, Standing and Ad Hoc Committees (and the chairs)
  	in the R3 ExCom and the R3 Committee.  We are also concerned about
  	the differences between Standing Committees and Ad Hoc Committees,
  	the allowed numbers of each and who can vote).
    a. A work session will be held in Atlanta in February to address the
       issues and identify areas that may need changes.
    b. Recommendations will be brought to SPC (and then to ExCom) for
  	   clarifying the Region 3 policy, and thus for future revisions to
  	   the Bylaws and Operations Manual.
    c. Provide a preliminary report to the Region 3 ExCom at
       SoutheastCon 2003.
    d. After considering comments and feedback from the Region
       Committee and the Region 3 ExCom, final recommendations will be
       developed for ExCom approval in the Fall of 2003.
    e. After approval by the ExCom, the Region Committee will be
       requested to approve final recommendations.
