SECTION CONGRESS VISIT Region 5 was fortunate enough to have Sam Terry the Vice Chair for the Houston Section represent us in Quebec city for his first Sections Congress in late September. The Section congress meets every three years. CLICK HERE for Sam's report.
SENIOR MEMBERS READ THIS SECTION TO BECOME A SENIOR MEMBER IN THE IEEE. A goal of our region is to sponsor as many Senior Members as possible and I am asking your help. The IEEE criteria for Senior Member status is ten years of professional practice including five years of significant performance, and references. (See the nominator letter and application form for clarification on the IEEE website.) If you know an IEEE member who qualifies for Senior Membership, I would like you to nominate him or her by forwarding their nomination to one of the Houston Section Excom members. If you qualify and are not a senior member please reply to one of the Section Excom members. If you are retired and have met the criteria at one time lets get you nominated. Section meetings are the best networking tool to achieve Senior membership. As an alternative process, you can direct the prospective Senior Member to one of the Houston Section Excom Members. We have a list of several Fellows and Senior Members which we can use for references. The section will nominate all those qualified who provide a resume and significant performance vita. Senior Membership in IEEE promotes the value of membership and enhances the status of the member. This is an achievement award lets honor our deserving members. CONTINUING EDUCATION ON DEMAND The Houston Section 2008-2009 CED Seminar Schedule started up on October 7 and 8 with several courses that will cover new and exciting topics.
