Chair's Corner

Happy New Year!! Tired of the snow yet? Last time I wrote this we were preparing for Halloween, Thanksgiving, The CIS-IEEE 2nd Annual Awards Banquet and a well deserved break. I do not know how the other holidays were for you but the 2nd Annual Awards Banquet was a complete success. Many thanks to our keynote speaker Dr. Linda Kathei. Attendance was three times more than the first banquet. An update on the Sections' activities of the past year was presented. Also presented were senior member lapel pins to the members who had achieved Senior Member status in 2003. Scholarships were awarded to six programs. They are: ECE and ECET departments of the School of Engineering & Technology, IUPUI; ECE department, School of Engineering and ECET department school of Technology at Purdue University, West Lafayette; ECE department, School of Engineering, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and ECT department, School of Technology, Indiana State University. A monetary award was presented to Professor Bill Conrad for his robotics grant which will enable high school students to learn about Engineering. Congratulations also go out to the Member of the Year, Alan Stillerman (Honest, I did not know I was going to get this award until they told me.) Pictures and PowerPoint slides from the banquet will be posted shortly. Keep next November open for the 3rd Awards Banquet.

Also at the awards banquet, the officers for 2004 were presented. They are:

My apologies for not getting the word out sooner for this very important planning meeting.
