IEEE R3 ExCom - SPC Report for 1/12/2009 Meeting

The following is a status report for the SPC 2008 Goals and Objectives:

Region 3 Strategic Planning Committee
2008 Goals and Objectives Status Report 1-9-2009

1. Provide Mentors to those Regional Committees as requested by the
respective committee chairs and/or the Regional Director.

  STATUS: [Mentors assigned 2-21-08]

1a. Mentors will encourage their committees to develop, adopt and implement Goals and Objectives to be accomplished and reported on annually.

1b. Mentors will report on their respective committee's activities to the SPC at SoutheastCon 2008.

  STATUS [Partly accomplished.  Only a few mentors were present at SEC 08 meeting]

2. Review the Region Bylaws and Operations Manual for required and proposed
changes by March 15, 2008. If the needed changes are a result of the IEEE
directive to delete the reference to Regional Activities Board (RAB) and
replace it with Member and Geographic Activities Board (MGAB) request the
Regional Director to obtain a waver from the requirement to have the Region
Committee and MGAB approve those changes. STATUS [The Region Bylaws were
reviewed and updated to reflect the RAB to MGAB change. The amended Bylaws
were approved and published on 3/18/2008. The R3 Operations Manual was
reviewed and will require a major revision due to the changes in the Region
3 Executive Committee restructure and responsibility. Hopefully, this task
can be accomplished by the end of 2009 through collaboration between the
Director, SPC and all other members of the ExCom.

3. Continue to provide counsel to the Regional Director and Executive
Committee to minimize problems in the Region operation. STATUS [This is an
ongoing goal and continues to be a valuable resource to the Director and
ExCom]
