- PROVIDE
INPUT TO SECTIONS CONGRESS 2005 PROGRAM
-
- The Regional Activities
Board will present IEEE Sections Congress 2005 in Tampa,
Florida, USA, 14-17 October 2005. The theme of the event
is "Promoting a World-Class Volunteer Community." As part
of the planning process, Program Committee Chair Dave
Green has asked that current and recent Section leaders
provide feedback on a number of suggested
topics.
-
- To that end, please
visit https://www.surveysolutions.com/ieee/sc2005b.htm
- and complete the survey.
Your answers will help determine what program sessions
would be most valuable to the Section leaders attending
Sections Congress.
-
- If you have any
questions, please contact Dave (d.green@ieee.org)
or Tracy Hawkins (t.hawkins@ieee.org).

REMINDER

- RECRUITING
AND RETAINING VOLUNTEERS, PART VI
-
- What volunteers need:
"written instructions*." Written instructions can be
helpful for both recruiting volunteers and retaining new
volunteers. If you have a simply written job description
available when you approach someone to invite him or her
to volunteer, he or she may be more likely to agree if
they have a clear idea of what they are being asked to
do. Without written instructions, an individual may
volunteer to do a job, but misunderstand exactly what it
is he or she agreed to do and later back
down.
-
- What can you do?
- 1) Have a brief job
description of each position that needs to be filled.
There are some already written for you on the web
at
- https://www.ieee.org/officers
(click on link to "officer job
descriptions").
- 2) Follow-up verbal
commitments with a thank you note that includes a summary
of the agreed upon task.
