Fellow IEEE Members,
What a year it
has been and I should have written my first
chairman's corner a long time ago. I hope
everyone's summer went well and was
enjoyable.
Discovery
Return to Flight Media Coverage
Vote
I have been
asked by the Florida Council and IEEE-USA for
members to vote on the best media coverage of
the space shuttle's Return to Flight mission
last month. Please take a look at
https://ewh.ieee.org/r3/canaveral/Survey.html
and vote for the media outlet that had the best
coverage of the Return to Flight
mission.

senior
membership
drive on
Friday, September 16 at Devry University
Orlando. The drive starts at 6 p.m. and we will

look at the IEEE Senior Member Program Web site

Fall Picnic
In October
Our annual fall
picnic this year will be held during one of the
last two weekends in October. Stay tuned to the
Web site for more information.
Officers
Needed
The Section has
officer positions vacant. These include our
secretary, treasurer and chapters chair. If you
are interested in stepping in as the secretary,
treasurer or chapters chair until the end of the
year, please let me know.
Sections
Congress
The triennial
IEEE Sections Congress will be held in October
in Tampa. The congress is one of the places
where sections can speak up as the collective
voice of the local members to express ideas
about how IEEE can better serve its members now
and going forward. The issues generated at
Sections Congress are forwarded to the IEEE
Leadership for action.
I would like to
poll the membership as to what concerns you may
have that would like to be brought up to
Sections Congress. Some concerns in the past
include:
- How is IEEE
membership beneficial to the non-academic
member?
- Why are IEEE
membership dues so high and what does that
bring?
- How do we
retain student members as regular
members?
Please e-mail or
call me with your suggestions.
If there are any
concerns, questions or suggestions that you have
for the section or if there is anything that the
section can do for you, please let me
know.
Thanks and I
look forward to seeing you at the senior
membership drive on the 16th and at the fall
picnic.
Joe
Juisai
Chair, IEEE
Orlando Section
