Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2000 16:56:00 -0400 To: Region 3 Excom From: Don Hill Subject: PAOC Report Most members of the PAOC met at the Professional Development Conference (PDC) in Sept 00. All vacancies were filled and reflect IEEE-USA standing committees. Region 3 was modestly represented at PDC. Those members that attended gained new skills and networked with members from the world. At this time, the plans for PDC 01 have been cancelled. Region 3 is the only region that annually and routinely trains its PACE members about how to do a good job (Thanks for George McClure) at the section level. The committee continues to encourage universities within Region 3 to schedule SPAC's. SPAC's provide a 'jump start' to students before they complete their educations.
