Sections Congress Co-Coordinators Report - Southeastcon 2005

Sections Congress 2005 is coming.  For those that still may be
unfamiliar, it is a meeting of delegates from every section in the world
done once every three years.  Sections Congress is October 14-17, 2005,
in Tampa, Florida at the Tampa Marriott Waterside.  The host section is
the Florida West Coast Section.  Here is a link to the Sections congress
PowerPoint slide show that Tracy Hawkins has done at headquarters.  It
has lots of relevant information:

Butch Shadwell ( b.shadwell@ieee.org ) is the coordinator for all
sections in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Jamaica, and Mississippi, and
Sean Haynes ( s.a.haynes@ieee.org ) is covering Virginia,
Kentucky/Indiana, Tennessee, North and South Carolina.

The campaign to get R3 sections to attend and support Sections Congress
has been through a series of emails, now into the third year, and
articles in all the R3 newsletters in the last two years.  Sean Haynes
will carry the issue forward in person at Southeastcon.

From our emails so far Sean has heard the delegate selection from the
Richmond Section and I have heard from the NW Florida Section.  This is
all who have responded to date.  We will keep pushing.

Sections contributing so far are:  FWC 3500; Coastal SC  200; Broward 
250; Canaveral  250;  Tallahassee  600; Palm Beach  2000; Atlanta  7000;
FWC  3500; Mississippi  441; Huntsville  2300; Jacksonville  1000;
Lexington  600

Total  $21,641 - 11 sections contributing so far.  If your section is
not on this list, now's the time to get your contribution in.

At this point we would encourage those that have not contributed to send
whatever they can immediately to Charles Hickman.  We must have 100%
participation from sections with attendance and support.
