To: Region 3 ExCom
Fr: David G. Green, Region 3 Director-Elect
Sb: Director-Elect's Report for May ExCom
Dt: 9 May 2011

Thanks to everyone for a very enjoyable and productive Region 3 Meeting in
Nashville. We obviously had a lot to do, got a lot done, and left some for
later. Perhaps we can better use our e-conferencing tools to do some of the
left over activities as well as remain engaged between meetings.

Another report summarizes the work post meeting on the Region 3 Sections
Congress Recommendations. I believe they are ready to go and will be sent in
after the ExCom meeting. Any last minute comments can be made on the Region 3
OnLine Community.

I attended the Minneapolis Section's "Guerrilla Job Search Secrets Revealed"
section meeting on 18 April.  They broadcast the Section meeting as a webinar
to up to 50 outside attendees.  Some were probably section members that could
not attend and some were "outsiders" like me.  It was a good meeting, after
understanding when it started (we had a rather silent video view of the 
lectern as folks checked it out and the participants ate dinner <G>).  We were
able to ask questions via text and have them answered by the speaker.  I think
it is precisely in keeping with our Sections Congress Recommendation 4 which
includes the "members without borders" concept.

I would like to visit other areas and councils and participate in meetings
where appropriate. Please touch base with me and lets see what can be
scheduled and how I can continue to learn and help IEEE in Region 3.

Goals for 2011:

* Work on a planning effort for Region 3 to encompass Sections Congress, MGA,
 Region 3 and its sections (in progress)
* Visit at least four Area/Councils (invitations?)
* Actively participate on Region 3 Committee, the ExCom, and Region
 3Committees as appropriate and required (continuing)

 3 Goals and Objectives, enable and encourage Region 3 committees to be
