TECHNICAL SYMPOSIA GRANT PROGRAM 2004 IEEE Regional Activities provides grants of $500 each to Sections or Chapters sponsoring a one-day technical symposium. The 2004 program is underway, and two events have already been funded. The guidelines have changed slightly for 2004: units funded in the past may apply again for funds provided at least one year has passed. Units are advised to apply at least three months in advance of their event. For more information and the grant request form visit https://www.ieee.org/scs and click on "FORMS". Please direct questions to Tracy Hawkins at t.hawkins@ieee.org, or call +1 732 562 5512. |

Vicki Waldman, Editor DON'T WAIT UNTIL YEAR END! REPORT MEETINGS AS THEY ARE HELD This is a reminder that you should report your Unit's meetings as they are held throughout the year. It takes only seconds to do and once submitted, the meeting reports do not have to be sent again at the end of the year. The meeting report form can be found on the web at https://www.ieee.org/L31. FORMING NEW CHAPTERS IEEE Technical Society Chapters are ideal vehicles for informative technical meetings and for networking. If you have 12 or more members, above Student grade, of a particular Society within your Section, a Chapter for that Society may be formed. The link to the Society Chapter petition can be found on the web at https://www.ieee.org/scs/forms_petitions. Please review your completed form carefully before submitting. Incorrect or incomplete information can delay the formation of your Chapter. For more information, contact Lauren Leaston at l.leaston@ieee.org. IDENTITY STANDARDS UPDATE The April release of the IEEE Identity Standards has been updated to clarify several common questions. It is now available on the Web at https://www.ieee.org/identitystandards. Updates address the correct usage of the IEEE Master Brand. Additionally, the newly updated document includes more examples and cross-references between sections. Electronic images of the IEEE Master Brand may be downloaded from https://www.ieee.org/masterbrand. For more information on the use of the IEEE Master Brand, contact the Intellectual Property Rights office at copyrights@ieee.org or Corporate Strategy and Communications at corporate-communications@ieee.org. CALL FOR RAB AWARD NOMINATIONS The Regional Activities Board is currently accepting nominations for the prominent RAB Awards:
The RAB Awards and Recognition Program seeks to honor the outstanding efforts of some of the most invaluable IEEE Volunteers who have made substantial Regional contributions through innovative projects, exemplary leadership, service, and by fulfilling the goals as related to Transnational Activities. Each prestigious award has a unique mission and criteria, and offers the opportunity to honor distinguished colleagues, inspiring teachers and corporate leaders. These awards, the most prestigious RAB has to offer, are designed to recognize outstanding efforts by IEEE volunteers. These are NOT technical achievement awards. The deadline for nominations is 15 October 2004.
