Dear Colleagues,
The Member and Geographic Activities Board partnered with Region 7,
and the Quebec Section in hosting Sections Congress 2008
in Quebec City, Canada from 19-22 September. This was the largest Sections
Congress ever. Early feedback from the participants indicates that the
event was a tremendous success. There were 1072
attendees from 89 countries representing 293
Sections. We were overwhelmed by the attendees' enthusiasm and commitment to
IEEE.
The opening ceremony included an invited speaker from TELUS.
The closing ceremony included a short video highlighting
the MGA Mission to Inspire, Enable, Empower, and Engage the participants. I
invite you to view this video on IEEE.tv at:

and select the Sections Congress 2008 video titled,
IEEE - Inspire. Enable. Empower.
Engage.
Also on IEEE.tv are several other programs from
Sections Congress 2008 including:
