To: James Howard, Region 3 Director (2001-2003) Cc: Region 3 ExCom 2003 Subject: Region 3 Nominations and Appointments Committee Winter Report for 6 Jan 2003 During the month of December 2002, the R3 N&A Committee assisted Director Howard in securing member comment to serve on the 2003 ExCom. All Executive Officers have agreed to serve, all Area/Council Chairs have been identified and have agreed to serve with the exception of the TN Council. All Standing Committee Chairs, Ad-hoc Committee Chairs, and Ad-hoc Special Appointed Representatives have agreed to serve. At the Region 3 Committee Meeting on April 7, 2002, Don Hill and George McClure were approved as our candidates for Region 3 Delegate/Director-Elect for 2004-2005. Their names will be placed on the 2003 IEEE Election Ballot. The N&A Committee feels that these candidates are well qualified and have rendered outstanding service to our region. The candidate elected in the fall of 2003 will become the Region 3 Delegate/Director for 2006-2007. Most of the Area/Council Vice Chairs have been elected or appointed for 2003. VA and TN Councils have not reported who the Vice Chair of their respective Councils are. All Standing Committees have appointed a Vice Chair. Some of the Ad-Hoc Committees have appointed a Vice Chair. For those Committees who are seeking a Vice Chair, please let the N&A know about it. As previously reported, the Region 3 Nominations and Appointments Committee Goals and Objectives for 2003 are as follows: 1. Provide a list of possible candidates for Region Committees 2. Identify key members within the Region for future Regional Committees. 3. Assist Committees with selection of Vice-Chairs 4. Work with Director-Elect to begin to form his ExCom. 5. Recommend candidates for Regional Director-Elect. During 2003, the N&A Committee will be issuing a "Call for Nominations for Region 3 Committees" and will be working with our Director-Elect Bill Harrison to form the 2004 ExCom.
