2010 Region 6 Meeting

Bookmark and Share

Hello, I just got back from the 2010 Region 6 Meeting that took place in San Francisco on February 16-27. The agenda included a variety of topics, and here are just highlights :
Area reportsThe news are that we are still losing IEEE members across the USA/Canada. We need to work on membership development in various directions :
- our education system (do we grow or import engineers ?)
- society perception of the IEEE and engineering profession in general (many people do not even know what IEEE is and what we do), and our engineering profession in US is suffering from a decline in popularity.

Also , when we pay Region 6 dues, $1 used to go to Region6. This was the lowest share (other Regions would pay $3..$8 shares). We have voted to increase our Region 6 share up to $3, which will increase the Region 6 membership dues by $2.

If you have any questions about this meeting, feel free to email omill@ieee.org
