- MAKE
SURE YOUR SECTION'S VOICE IS HEARD:
- REGISTER FOR SECTIONS CONGRESS
NOW!
-
- The goals of Sections Congress are three: leadership training;
networking;
- and guiding the future of the Institute through the
development and
- prioritization of recommendations for action. In 1996,
those
- recommendations included the email alias service now used by
more than
- 60,000 IEEE members. Your Section's ideas cannot be brought
forward if
- your leadership is not there! Register your primary delegate
by visiting
- https://www.ieee.org/sc and clicking on "SC 2002" and then
"Register Now".
- You'll register first for the event, and then the hotel.
- If you have any questions, contact
sc-coordinator@ieee.org.
-

WEB CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM LAUNCHED
-
- The content and navigation of the IEEE main Web site
- <https://www.ieee.org/>, like others, has grown
enormously complex since its
- launch in 1996. After an extensive search for software to
help maintain
- all of the content and organization of the site, on 26 June,
the IEEE
- launched the first phase of its IEEE Web Content Management
System (CMS).
-
- IEEE web content will be moving into the new system in phases
throughout
- the remainder of 2002. Users may experience some broken links
and other
- occasional inconveniences as the content is migrated and
improvements are
- made to both content and navigation over the next six months.
We
- appreciate your patience and understanding during this
transition.
-
- For more information, contact Sonny Barber, IEEE Corporate
Strategy and
- Communications, telephone + 1 732 562 6823; email
s.barber@ieee.org.
