Call for Volunteers for 2008 Section Officers 

The Kansas City Section Nominations process for 2008 positions is underway. The nominations committee, under the direction of Section Vice-chair Fred Granville, is developing a slate of nominees for the Section Officers (Section Chair, Vice-chair, Secretary, and Treasurer). If you're interested in a position or would like to suggest someone, please contact Fred at flg @flgnetworking.com  (paste into your e-mail client and remove the spaces).

Appointed positions also need filling. We have an opening for Life Members Chair. PACE needs officers, and many Society positions are open. Mark Lamendola has served as Publishing Officer for over 10 years and would like to pass the baton.

Visit the Officers page and look at the open positions. If you're interested in a position or would like to suggest someone, please contact Fred Granville at flg@ flgnetworking.com.  

If you have questions about what these positions entail, you will find information on the Section Website  www.ieee-kc.org (no surprise there):

• Click the Officers link, and you'll see a link for Officer Duties--this information comes directly from the Region 5 Officer Training Manual hardcopies.

• The Section and Society officers also have a resource called the BIC. In your browser address bar, just type "bic" after the domain name. Click your bic, and you will be in the Business Information Center.

• You can also contact the current officeholder, the Section Chair (Dick Hodgman, dick @hodgman.org), or the Section Vice Chair (Fred Granville, flg@ flgnetworking.com) if you don't find your answer online.
