The section is having a hard time.  After months of being unresponsive
the Computer Society chair recently resigned.  I organized the last
meeting myself, even though I am not a member of that society.  We
don't have a prospect to assume this chair at this time.  Last meeting
was September 9th, organized by me.
 
Also our PES-IAS chair has been unresponsive to inquiries.  I have
offered assistance many times to organize meetings, but I get no
reply.  Last meeting was in March.
 
I expect the excom to meet this week to see if we wish to close our
chapters.  I don't mind organizing all the meetings, but I can't run
chapters of which I am not a member.
 
I organized a section picnic in August, that was fairly well attended.
I think the membership in Jacksonville is interested but we need new
chapter chairs, and new officers.
 
The student branch is off to a fairly good start.  I have attended
their last organizational meeting, and there is a lot of interest
there.  We presently have three teams for the SECon hardware
competition.
 
Respectfully submitted,
Butch Shadwell
