The HR-PES Short Circuit for April 2011
The March meeting on Arc Flash has been rescheduled for May 3rd, same Al Fresco in Newport News venue. The Speaker, Adeeb Hamzey safely returned to the States later than planned, but is back into his normal routine. That meeting will start earlier than the regular PES routine, so that Adeeb can return to the Richmond area that evening.
SoutheastCon was enlightening on opportunities to help Section and Chapter membership grow. Not grow in membership numbers, but grow our members as professionals in the engineering community. One focus is to increase the number of members who elevate in grade from Member to Senior Member. May newsletter will have criteria to elevate, and in June PES will schedule a couple of nights to support submitting all interested and eligible IEEE members of the section (PES Members is not a requirement for this). Contact jennifer.ammentorp@ieee.org if you would like to support this effort. More details and eligibility criteria will be posted in the May segment of the PES Short Circuit.
Another area important to the Section is engagement with our Student sections. This can be a win5 situation for the student, the member, the school, and the employer; as a mentor to even one of our five student sections. Dr. Nare at Hampton University illustrated many benefits to mentoring a student section. This access to entry level engineers is an excellent opportunity for the employer, having a more personal exposure to job candidates. Students get insight into the business culture through contact with mentors from the professional sector, and can improve the skills for entry into the job market. Universities win with an increased number of graduates getting hired, and the company acquires a job candidate who recognizes the value of investing in self development. The section sees higher retention of first year and GOLD members, stimulating the Section program and activities. Two hours a quarter from one member can make a significant difference in Section and Chapter activities.
Thank you for your participation in IEEE. HRPES is open to suggestions for meeting topics and venues that interest you!

April 2011 From The Chair
Thank you to Mühlbauer in Newport News for the tour and demonstration of their manufacturing equipment in March. Everyone could relate to the products that their equipment is used to manufacturer, from driver's licenses and passports to subway tickets. It was interesting to see the new applications for RFID and other technologies on display for die sorting.
In April we will meet at ODU for a technical presentation from Ed Larsen of SquareD on NEC requirements for low-voltage circuit breakers. This is an excellent opportunity to hear from an industry expert in this area. Mr. Larsen is involved in IEEE standards as well as other standards organizations.
IEEE is still looking for a volunteer for the Secretary position, please contact officers-r3-hamptonroads@ieee.org if you are interested and would like to get involved.

From the PES Corner - March 2011
PES is off and running in 2011! January was reporting and HR-PES qualified for High Performing Chapter in 2010. February was a small tour of AetnaWire Manufacturing Facility supported by Members Rick Williamson and Dawn Zhao. There was great positive feedback from this event, and it will be something PES does again in the future.
Feb 21st was the first HR-PES Chapter Awards presentation and Networking meeting at Kelly's Tavern in Hampton. Dawn Ostenberg presented Jennifer Ammentorp with the first Outstanding Engineer Award for establishment and continuation of the HR-PES Chapter.
HR-PES will be sponsoring two networking opportunities a year, as one means of linking student members with local professional mentors. This is very important for several reasons! Students need a link to future professions, Industry needs a personal link to future employees, professional membership can gain a better knowledge of local resources for their own career development as well as keeping abreast of the rapidly changing job climate in our area. If nothing else, remember the USA desperately needs more home grown engineers! Please look forward to future networking opportunities on vTools, even if you can only stay for a part of the meeting. This function is open to all IEEE members snacks provided cash bar available. Student advisors are encouraged to invite electrical engineering students to these events. This is a no cost event, but registration is required to reserve enough space, and an idea of how many appetizers to order .
The March Meeting for Arc Flash has been postponed. Speaker Adeeb Hamzey from the Richmond PES Chapter was on assignment in the Middle East at the start of the year and due to come back Feb 15th. This is part of why no abstract for the meeting had been posted on vTools. The Chapter's thoughts and prayers are extended to Adeeb and his family that they are all well safe, and the Arc Flash meeting will be rescheduled in the future.
The Chapter also welcomes Rick Williamson who has stepped up to fill the chapter's Vice Chair vacancy. Please welcome and thank Rick for his willingness to donate some free time in keeping the chapter rolling!
Your suggestions and feedback are welcome. Currently HR-PES is soliciting for topics and Venues for an April 6th meeting.
