Director-Elect Report to IEEE Region 3 ExCom May 14, 2017 I want to thank the IEEE Region 3 ExCom and Committee for their support in the revision of the Region 3 Operations Manual. One of my projects for the near future is to implement the revisions that were approved by the ExCom and Region Committee in April. I have worked on the MOVE leadership committee in the capacity of equipment design and support. Our latest need is for automatic equipment to complete the required drivers logs in the truck. This new equipment is supposed to be operational by the end of the year. On another subject, I have announced that I will retire from full-time employment at UAB as of June 1 2017. Hopefully this change will make a little more time available for my IEEE duties. Gregg Vaughn IEEE Region 3 Director-Elect (2016-2017)
