Region 3 Director-Elect Report
1. Fleshing Out the Rosters - A number of sections and
subsections in Region 3 lack a full set of officers for the
section. They will be encouraged to fill the open slots, even
with provisional hold-overs from previous slates until the offices can be
filled with new volunteers. Vacant PACE chairs can be filled with
section chairs as a collateral duty, and they will be encouraged to do
that. Life members, and other retired members, can be recruited as
a valuable resource for section operations. They have the time and
the experience to contribute to section programs and
administration.
2. Membership Brochure - With a 5% drop in membership in a
year, IEEE needs to promote membership at the section level, through
visibility at expos, job fairs, college placement offices,
technical conferences, tutorials, science fairs, corporate human resource
offices, and other venues. A prototype tri-fold membership brochure
has been developed; it will be refined and focus-tested in several
sections before being put into final form for use by sections (that can
add their own specific data and URL on one of the six panels).
3. Section/Chapters Coordination - As the Region 3
Chapters/Section Coordinator (RAB Operations Manual, Section
9.1.C., 9.6.C, Appendix III.G.), contact sections and chapters with
problems, ensuring Region 3 support of its Sections' Chapters and
enhancement of the Section-Chapters interface. One salient problem
is the compliance with the requirement that chapters having separate bank
accounts submit a year-end financial statement to the Section by January
15 for the previous fiscal year.
4. Ensure that Sections Earn the Reporting Bonus -
Sections have been reminded of the requirement that they will receive
the ten percent bonus ONLY if their year-end report is postmarked by 20
February 2004.

5. Compliance with Section Member Communication Requirement
- Contact sections to review procedures/plans for complying
with RAB Operations Manual, Section 9.4.D.5, that a hard copy
mailing be sent to all active section members at least yearly, with
information on subscribing to the e-mail list, the URL for the Section's
Web page, and how members may update their contact information in the
IEEE master database.
