Director-Elect Report There are only a few things to report: Meeting attended: 11 December - IEEE R3 N&A (Teleconference) I will attend several IEEE Board meetings over the next few months. I will discuss with Mary Ellen the scope of my duties over the next two years. I travelled in India during the first three weeks of January. I visited many IEEE members and heard many times that they welcome US insights of field. Since Region 10 will have an even larger impact on IEEE in the future, Region 3 might want to consider establishing a relationship with a section in Region 10 (this is similar to what towns do to establish “Sister Cities”). These relationships could include everything from sharing presentations to travel. Something to think about. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- James M.
