Region 3 Summer Excom North Carolina Council Report North Carolina Council has not held any meetings since its meeting in Ocho Rios in April. There are three areas of concern for North Carolina Council 1. Status of the Charlotte Section. We are still having problems communicating with this entity. The Charlotte Web site is out of date and the officers do not seem to respond to email. 2. Status of the Hickory Subsection. This section consists of geographic areas of both Charlotte and Western NC sections and is inactive. While we have not been successful in communicating with Charlotte, Western would like to have the area returned to their section. It is a recommendation from the NC Council that this take place. 3. NC Council Elections. I have appointed Charles Lord, NC Council Past Chair, to head the nominations committee. The current serving officers have agreed to rotate to the next positions in the rotation. Thanks, Chip Dawson IEEE North Carolina Council Chair
