From The Chair - March 2011

Mühlbauer Tour

Please join us for the March technical meeting, which will be a tour of the Mühlbauer facility in Newport News. The tour will include an interactive demonstration of their cutting edge manufacturing equipment used to produce ID Cards, Passports, RFID's and others. This is an exciting opportunity to visit a local high-tech business; I can say the Mühlbauer tour in 2009 was very well received by the Hampton Roads IEEE members. The tour is free to everyone (members, guests, and students), please register ASAP so that we can get a good count for refreshments.
I'd like to thank Mickey Wilson of Harger for his presentation last month on lightning protection systems. Jennifer Ammentorp, the Hampton Roads PES Chapter Chair, will be traveling to SoutheastCon March 17-20 in Nashville to represent the Hampton Roads Section in Region 3 activities. If you have any ideas on how IEEE can better serve its members, please feel free to email the officers list or myself so that we can relay this information to Jennifer. I would like to welcome Mr. Richard Williams to the IEEE HR Executive Committee; he will serve as the 2011 Section treasurer.
Volunteer opportunities are still available within the Hampton Roads Section, please contact the officers list if you are interested.
