New IEEE Touch Points in Region 3

Over the last month or so, I have been receiving official notice of new IEEE organizational units (OUs) forming in Region 3. I am always excited to see this as it takes members being proactive about IEEE to form these units. Please join me in congratulating those who worked so hard to create these member forums and wishing each of them success in meeting the needs of themselves and their community. Please help out if possible if you get asked to support these or similar efforts.

The newly formed OUs are

• Florida International University Power & Energy Society Student Branch Chapter
  
• University of the West Indies-Mona Campus IEEE Student Branch
  
• Savannah Technical College IEEE Student Branch
  
• Mississippi Section's Power & Energy Society Chapter
  
• University of South Carolina's Power Electronics Society Student Branch Chapter
  
• Huntsville Section's Joint Control Systems Society and Robotics & Automation Society Chapter
  

Expect increased postings...

Hi,

We have relied on e-mail reports a lot in Region 3 for communicating. This has worked for some and been ineffective for others. Today marks an experiment to do incremental reporting through blog posts here.

If things are set up correctly, a synopsis of this post will show up on the IEEE Region 3 Twitter Feed (r3ieee). Let me know if this is useful (or what other changes would be helpful.)

If you are a IEEE Region 3 Volunteer who would like to use this venue for sharing information, please contact me.
