When the Computer Society made these shirts available for purchase, it was on a pre-order basis. The Computer Society made it clear at that time that the Society would be buying these shirts ahead of time. One of the people who ordered shirts has refused to pay for them and does not reply to voice mail or e-mail.

These shirts are 4XL. There is a blue one and a black one. For more information, go to www.ieee-kc.org/computer and click on the shirts link.

The IEEE has launched an online member directory designed to encourage peer-to-peer networking within IEEE membership.

memberNet is the first step in a series of next-generation capabilities that will encourage virtual collaborations between members with similar technical interests, regardless of geography. While the basic member profile in memberNet contains every member's name and membership grade, each member can indicate by check mark what additional information they would like to also have appear.

These may include technical interests, local Section, or IEEE Society affiliation. The memberNet directory, and its opt-in management, is accessible from myIEEE, at http://www.ieee.org/myieee. For more information about IEEE memberNet, visit http://www.ieee.org/membernet.

The IEEE Education Partners Program has joined with LeaderPoint, a Kansas City-area company, to offer leadership and management courses in Overland Park, Kansas. The simulation-based development sessions were recently featured in The Institute. Here is the link to the article:
