Based on the survey results:
We will use Monday night, 9pm Eastern for our time slot
We will offer the two most popular choices:
a. Succession Planning, N&A, Voting Tool
b. Professional Activites for the Fall
I have asked Director-Elect Mary Ellen Randall to lead our efforts on the first topic and PAO Chair John Montague to lead our efforts in the second webinar. Both shall involve others (including outside folks) in the presentations.
The following information is the “current planning” for the events but the details of the session are still being worked out amongst the presenters.
– Mary Ellen Randall
Human Resources consultant to do the Succession Planning part of the webinar. She is going to talk about early identification of individuals with leadership potential, helping to give them the right experiences, keeping them motivated by showing them the career advantage to these experiences, etc. This will be around 15–20 minutes.
Bill Ratcliff will do about 15–20 minutes on the N & A process in IEEE. Some of the section and councils are using a more formal N & A process and seeing good results, i.e. more candidates.
Bill Tidemann will demo of how to set up the election using the voting tool including extracting the voter list from SAMIEEE in about 15–20 minutes.
