Evansville-Owensboro Section Report for March 2010 Region 3 Meeting.
As submitted by Section Chair, Paul R. Blaylock.

There are no items that require R3 attention at this time. 

Section Activities:
We continue to enjoy strong support from our area Universities from both
students and faculty. And are exploring ways to increase activities within the
technical colleges as well. Member meeting attendance seems to be spotty,
although facility tours are always a positive draw and present good outreach
opportunities to local businesses. We are trying to combat this by
standardizing our meeting schedule and publishing an online calendar of events
with longer lead times. Ideally this will mitigate the transient student
effects, and improve member planning and communication. Our section helps
sponsor the annual the UE Engineer’s Week Banquet, and will continue to do so.

The recent closing of Whirlpools Evansville division, and Toyotas difficulties
have had an impact on our membership, but the community remains strong.

We continue to work on knowing our membership, and defining what our IEEE is
through them.
