Communications Committee The Communications Committee continues to meet bi-weekly via irc Chat. Our next meeting will be on 31 January 2007. Area, Council, and Section Communications committee members are strongly encouraged to participate. These meetings cover a wide range of topics to include our public information, webmaster, and electronic communications subcommittees. We also work with a number of other committees on activities such as the Archive Mangement pilot and other initatives. In addition to our many on-going efforts, we recently engaged with the Strategic Planning Committee to look at our Region 3 electronic voting procedures. This is an exciting opportunity and I encourage all who have ideas or experiences to participate with us. The Region 3 Newsletter is one of our major products. Recently our current newsletter editor, Quang Tang, tendered his resignation. All of you have seen his excellent work over the past years and it is obvious that his will be a hard act to follow. Bill LaBelle, Hampton Roads newsletter editor, has volunteered to fill the void. For more information on our activities, please visit https://tinyurl.com/dxaha or contact me.
