Past Director - N&A Report Call for Director-Elect Nominations- The Nominations & Appointments Committee is proposing a slate of two candidates for Director-Elect, 2010-2011. The two are Dr. Eric Ackerman and Prof. David Green. There will be a final Call for Nominations presented at this ExCom meeting. This is an opportunity to present additional candidates to the Region Committee. The nominator of an additional candidate must provide written concurrence from the candidate that s/he is willing to serve if elected, in addition to a Curriculum Vitae. The CV should detail the candidate's previous Region 3 volunteer activities as well as education and professional experience. The deadline for other D-E nominations is Monday, January 5, 2009, at 5:00 p.m. EST. Volunteers Sought for Region Appointments- Our most valuable asset is our volunteers. We always welcome new volunteers and the opportunity to explore new assignments for existing volunteers. Region 3 has twelve standing committees and, currently, eighteen ad hoc committees established and serving at the pleasure of the director. One of the ways in which members can get started as region volunteers is as committee members or vice chairs. The extent of involvement can be tailored to the time availability of the volunteer. Please contact the N&A Committee to explore opportunities. Respectfully submitted, George McClure, Chair, N&A Committee g.mcclure @ ieee.org
