IEEE Region 3 Leadership Development and Regional Support Committee Report 
March 24, 2008 

There is not a lot of new activity to report since the report of last
month. Other than the VA Council training workshop that was held in
January, no other workshops have been scheduled yet, with the exception
of the following:

The NC Council has requested me to put together a proposal for a weekend
workshop to be held this Summer at the NC Coast. This would be in the
same general format as the previous NC workshops that were held at the
Biltmore Estate and at Myrtle beach in 1999 and 2001 respectively. I have
tentatively identified a site in Nags Head, NC on the Outer Banks and a
tentative date of July 11-13, 2008. This will be presented to the NC
Council at their meeting in Huntsville. What is unique in this workshop
is that the leadership workshop, intended for training current and
prospective leaders in local and area IEEE positions, will also be the
model and 'dry run' for a professional development workshop to be hosted
by the NC Council at the same location in the early Fall. As the NCC is
working to become a registered provider of professional development hours
(PDH) with the board of PE licensing, this should be an attractive event
for the PE's in the state. This would of course also be a PACE project
and we will be working with IEEE-USA in the development (and possible
seed money) of this project.

In regional support, we have not received any further requests for
support for struggling sections or subsections other than the Lower Cape
Fear Subsection in NC. If your section is struggling due to low
volunteerism, lack of program material, or low attendance at meetings,
contact me and we will work together to get your section vitalized and
members engaged!
