I recommend that Dr. Anthony Richardson of the University of

   the three sections in Area 8.

2. Make sure all sections have their reports in on time
   (Meetings, Officers and Financial) 

3. Make contact with all section chairs within Area 8 at least four
   times this year.

4. Ensure that all sections are aware of, and encourage them to send a
   representative to Southeastcon.

5. Encourage all section officers to participate in leadership
   training opportunities.

6. Establish a time and date, and arrange a teleconference with Area 8
   Section Chairs and the Region 3 Directors by January 23, 2004.
