Subject: Nominations for 2008-9 Delegate/Director Elect,
    2010-11 Delegate/Director


The Region 3 ByLaws give the N&A process as

    ... ARTICLE 3 ...

    Section 5: No later than January 1 of the even numbered years a
    nominating committee consisting of at least three of the most recent
    Past Region 3 Delegate/Directors, living in the Region and able and
    willing to serve, will be appointed by the Region 3
    Delegate/Director. The Nominating Committee shall be charged with
    proposing the names of either two or three candidates for Region 3
    Delegate/Director-Elect to serve for a period of two years. All
    Section Chairs shall be advised of this appointment and shall be
    encouraged to submit suggestions for nominees to the designated
    Chair of the Nominating Committee.

    The Committee shall consider all suggestions and report its
    recommended nominees to the Region 3 Executive Committee for
    approval. Additional nominations may be made from the floor by the
    Region 3 Executive Committee provided the nominees have given
    permission for such nomination. The Region 3 Committee, which has
    the final responsibility for nominating candidates for the ballot
    presented to all Institute voting members in the Region, will
    nominate from the slate presented by the Region 3 Executive
    Committee in accordance with IEEE Bylaw requirements.

    Under extraordinary extenuating circumstances a single nominee for
    Region 3 Delegate/Director-Elect may be submitted to the IEEE
    Nominations and Appointments Committee for recommendation to the
    Board of Directors under provision of the appropriate IEEE Bylaw
    (2001, I-310.6, R-703.2).

Director McClure appointed William Harrison (Chair), Jim Howard, and
Dick Riddle as the 2007 N&A Committee.

Section chairs were informed of the process and nominations were solicited.
Nominations closed 31 December 2006.

The N&A Committee recommends the following slate for consideration by the
ExCom:

    * Eric Ackermann, Broward Section
    * Don Hill, Lexington Section
    * Lee Stogner, Piedmont Section

The N&A Committee moves that the ExCom approve this slate of candidates
to the Region 3 Committee.

The slate approved by the Region 3 ExCom will be presented to the
Region 3 Committee at SouthEastCon on Saturday, 24 March 2007.  The
committee will
select two or three candidates from this slate as the slate of
candidates nominated by the Region 3 for the election process in the
fall.
