R3 Leadership Development Report
9 July 2005

I continue to support training needs within Region 3 as they arise.  
The four main areas of support include:

1. Leadership training for IEEE volunteers at all levels within the 
Region.

2. Support for the LDO project by providing and facilitating training 
in mentoring, leadership, and communications skills as requested by 
the LDO Project Director

3. Training in collaborative communications ("e-conferencing") for 
IEEE volunteers to help support the Communications and other 
committees (including MDC)

4. Conference planning and execution training for upcoming 
SoutheastCon committees as requested by the Conferences Committee

Plans for the rest of 2005 to support these areas include:

1. For general LD training, I will be sceduling training for the NC 
Council and TN Council later this year.  I will be following up with 
some other areas and councils that have expressed interest in training 
but have not contacted me again, including the FC and Area 9.  Ray 
Findlay and I will be presenting two sessions at Sections Congress 
2005 on leadership development, which will be a "short form" overview 
of LD for sections.

2. Continue to support the LDO project by providing training to target
groups.  This will include presentations to the Atlanta and Eastern NC 
Sections (our two largest sections) this fall as part of the roll-out 
of LDO to the section level.

3. I have developed a new "short form" collaboration ("e-conf") 
training for presentation over the LiveMeeting (PlaceWare) system for 
helping section-level volunteers participate in on-line meetings for 
the R3 Committee and other committees.  There will be another one of 
these sessions on Saturday, July 16, at 9PM EDT for any of your 
committee or section members who need help in using this powerful
