I have gotten a couple of responses with "Thanks. We will be in touch." The chair of IEEE CoSigMa 2011 in Miami Beach, FL called and is very interested in working with Region 3. They are interested in any assistance we can give publicizing the conference, as well as identifying any resources willing to help out with on-site logistics. I am awaiting further information from the conference. SoutheastCon 2011 - Nashville I have been in contact with the SoutheastCon 2011 Steering Committee. They are well aware they are behind schedule. They have contracted with Larry Whicker Associates who helped organize SoutheastCon 2010 to assist with the planning and program management of the conference. The Region has put up a placeholder website for the conference. A meeting is schedule in Nashville on November 20th for us to get together and discuss the way forward for the conference. SoutheastCon 2012 - Orlando A preliminary Steering Committe has been identifed. SoutheastCon 2013 - Jacksonville No report. SoutheastCon 2014 - A prosposal has been received from the Lexington Section to host SoutheastCon 2014. I have reviewed the proposal and asked for additional information a couple of points, which I have received. I am planning on scanning the proposal and sending it out to the committee for review and recommendation to the board. SoutheastCon 2015 - A preliminary proposal has been received from Jamaica Section. Requests for additional information have gone unanswered. We have had inquiries from other sections on hosting future SoutheastCons. I am actively working these leads. Sean Haynes R3 Conference Committee Chair
