All of the above are based on the availability of recruiting … … Champions to Implementthe above.

Region 4 Could Most HelpMy Section by… • Assist local Sections with the Management and Development of an AccurateEmail and Mailing List. • Compliment the $200.00 per Chapter yearly allocation from IEEE by adding an additional $400.00 per year. This will provide each Chapter with a total of $600.00 of valuable funds through out the year. ( ie: Senior Member application drive / Educational Seminar ) • Assist Sections and Chapters in “Promoting and Selling” to “Management in Industry” and “IEEE Members” the Value of an IEEE Membership.
