Presently, Region 3 has 5 LM Affinity groups plus Alabama and Atlanta are in the process of establishing LM groups. Region 3 will have, with Eric Ackermann's help, a URL link for LMs. There are presently 3200 IEEE LM members in Region 3. Sections are enthusiastic about working on establishing functional LM groups. I am attending meetings in area, particularly the Florida West Coast Section in an effort to get to know fellow LMs and their needs - there are 12 counties in the Florida West Coast Section with about 526 LMs some of which have to travel 140 miles round trip to attend a meeting. I'm exploring avenues that will better serve the members in Region 3. David McLaren Region 3 Life Member Coordinator
