Our latest Region 3 Award Winner for the Employer Professional
Development Award, Southern Company, was nominated for the Educational
Activities Board (EAB) Employer Professional Development Award and
they won! Congratulations to Southern Company! This is the second year
in a row that the award has gone to an R3 business. Do you think your
company may be eligible for the award??

Another EAB Award went to Kristen Bedell, from Region 3. Kristen won
the award for Pre-University Educator, “for leadership in the
promotion of science, technology, engineering and mathematics
education at the primary school level to increase diversity and enrich
student learning”. Congratulations to Kristen on her excellent work
with some of the children in Region 3! IEEE USA Awards Nominations are
open. The deadline has been extended to August 29. I do not expect it
to be extended again. Region 3 is submitting at least 3 nominations.
Who do you know that may be eligible? Check out the list of awards for
Professionalism, Technical Achievement, and Literacy here.

Several people began Region 3 awards nominations while at
SoutheastCon. I encourage all of you to log onto the R3 awards portal
and go ahead and begin nominations for deserving R3 members. It’s much
easier than waiting until the last minute! For those that began
nominations, you can go in and update your nomination at any time.
