Florida Council Report for Region3 meeting at Fort Lauderdale

IEEE Florida Council Report for Region 3 Meeting at Fort Lauderdale,
Florida - April 8-10, 2005

The first IEEE Florida Council meeting for the year 2005 was conducted
at Orlando, Florida on 1-29-2005.  Ten sections sent their officers for
this meeting.  The sections submitted their meeting reports and shared
their activities.    Funding for the Section Congress 2005 was also
discussed.  The annual Florida Council awards were distributed to the
winners.  The Section Chairs were given Appreciation Certificates for
their services.  The long service of the Florida Council Treasurer (Mr.
David Smith) was appreciated by the Florida Council.

IEEEUSA PACE Leadership Workshop at Tucson, Arizona was well attended by
Florida Council PACE representatives. The PACE Chairs from Tallahassee,
Palm Beach (two officers), Orlando, Melbourne, Florida West Coast,
Miami, Florida Council and Gold representatives attended this workshop.

We are also working on the following issues:

1. Ensure that all sections have a web presence. 
2. Ensure that all sections are represented at Florida council meetings. 
3. Ensure that all sections are meeting IEEE reporting deadlines. 
4. Ensure that all sections are posting meeting notices to FC calendar. 
5. Ensure that we meet on a regular basis to exchange information and ideas.

Respectfully submitted
