- ANNUAL REPORT DEADLINE
21 FEBRUARY!
Your last reminder! If you haven't
already submitted them, the annual required
reports for IEEE Units (Sections, Subsections,
Chapters, Affinity Groups and Councils) are due
postmarked by the 21 February 2003. Forms,
information and rebate details can be found on
the web at https://www.ieee.org/scsreports.
We encourage all units to submit the forms
electronically. If you do, there is no need to
send hard copy. If you have questions, contact
sec-rebate@ieee.org
or call Peggy Kovacs, +1 732
- 562 5513.
- ASSOCIATE MEMBERS AS
OFFICERS?
Volunteer recruitment and retention
seems to be an almost universal problem for
Sections, Chapters and Affinity Groups. IEEE
policy does not currently allow for officer
positions to be held by members of Associate
grade. Do you think that policy should be
changed? We'd like to know how you feel about
this subject. Please take part in the poll on
the Section/Chapter
- Volunteer Virtual Community at https://www.ieeecommunities.org/section-chapter_vol.
While you are there, feel free to join in the
discussions, or start a new one. This is your
forum!

DISTINGUISHED LECTURER PROGRAMS, ALWAYS
IMPROVING
The Distinguished Lecturer (DL)
programs offered by IEEE Societies offer access
to more than 500 lecturers worldwide.
Information about these lecturers is available
online at
- https://www.ieee.org/organizations/tab/cialectweb2.html.
From this page, you can follow links directly to
an auto-retrievable e-mail or to the Society's
DL page on their own website. Finding a lecturer
online is easy, so is hosting a lecture online!
Internet conferencing can be used to extend the
reach of the DL program. Lecturers can address
audiences worldwide without traveling. Internet
conferencing allows for question and
- answer periods, instant interactions and a
variety to supporting materials. IEEE staff sets
up the program based on your specific
requirements. Simply visit https://www.ieee.org/web/webconf/index.html
for an introduction and further
information.
-
- Submit your DL program experiences. What
worked, what didn't? Do you have a great system
in place? Please send all responses to April
Nakamura, IEEE Technical Activities, a.nakamura@ieee.org.
