Chairman’s Corner

Section Activities

As we are getting closer to the end on the year, we need to start planning more of our administrative activities and start planning for the upcoming year. First, our General Membership Meeting is scheduled for December 18 at the Fogcutter restaurant at 6:30 p.m. Please mark your calendars and join us. At this meeting we will hold the election for next years Section Officers. For reservations, please contact Sonya Hutchinson at 544-3312 or by e-mail at sonya.hutchinson@ieee.org.

I would personally like to thank Pat Griffin, James Anderson, Scott Trites, Woody Williams, and all the volunteers and committee chairs that helped AUTOTESTCON 2002 a great success. Their dedicated effort in organizing this great event has set a new standard for the future organizing committees of AUTOTESTCON and a tough act to follow. The conference far exceeded the initial budgetary estimates for the number of booths sold and registered attendees. Please join me in thanking the following individuals for a job well done.
