The first EXCOM meeting of the year will be held on Monday. Traditionally this has been the one meeting each year when all the Technical Chapter Chairs are invited to share their successes and challenges with the ECOM committee. A common theme over the years has been the difficulty of finding volunteers to help with organizing chapter meetings. This year we have invited a number of new volunteers to the meeting in the hope that we can match up the interests of the volunteers with the needs of the Section and the Chapters.
We will know soon enough whether this idea is successful or not.
I am planning to give an overview of the IEEE organization at the National/International level and then describe some of the volunteer opportunities in the Section. Bruce Hecht will describe the Lecture Series opportunities and then we will break for a buffet meal during which there will be ample opportunity for new volunteers to talk to Chapter chairs about their interests and the chapter needs.
I have great hopes for this format producing some motivated volunteers and satisfied Chapter Chairs.
