From: "Hill, Donald W" Date: January 19, 2008 11:54:38 AM CST To: "r3-excom2008@ieee.org" Cc: Dave Green , "Hill, Donald W" Subject: Region 3 Conference Committee Report and Goals for 2008 Report: SoutheastCon 2007 has prepared and submitted its final report of its successful conference for attending members, excited students, and the region volunteers.  This group of leaders has set the bar high for following conferences. SoutheastCon 2008 is actively preparing for your attendance.  The organizing committee is anxious and excited about this event in Huntsville. SoutheastCon 2009 is learning from previous conferences and is preparing a different conference with the help of the Georgia Tech students. SoutheastCon 2010 is open for bidding.  We have several interested sections for this conference and others in future years. We would like to encourage you to get connected to any IEEE conferences that occur in your section.  IEEE HQ notifies the section leadership when a conference announces its intent to hold a conference in the section.  Please take that opportunity to help with the membership desk or local events held during the conference.  This can prove rewarding to all, including any new members you may meet. Goals: Enhance technical, educational, and professional member values through conferences in the section, area/council, and region. Increase membership through growth, retention, and leadership development using conferences, workshops, and meetings in the section, area/council, and region. Respectfully submitted, Don Hill Region 3 Conference Chair 2008
