2010 Budget

Greetings!

Attached is the 2010 IEEE Columbus Section budget. A couple of notes:

1. Amounts underutilized for student chapters was rolled over into the current year's budget. This includes money for the OSU chapter that they raised for their own use.

2. Our practice of "earmarking" funds for certain societies that received specially allocated funds from Society HQs has been changed. Instead, these monies are included in the budgeted amounts for that society for that year. Any unused funds will be rolled over.

Please feel free to share any questions or concerns you may have about our budget with me.

Best regards,
--Jack

IEEE-USA: Science, Engineering, and Technology in Schools

IEEE has an unique opportunity to change the way science, engineering and technology are taught in the United States - if we act quickly.

A bill will soon be introduced into Congress that would help states add engineering to their basic science curriculums at the K-12 level. If passed, the bill would be a significant reform to our STEM education system. The bill will introduce all students to engineering and technology much earlier in their academic careers than we do currently. It will also encourage students to continue their science educations through high-school, a time when many American students abandon the hard sciences.

While the bill has support in Congress, it needs more. We need to explain to our elected officials exactly what the bill is and what it does. Most importantly, we need to convince Congress that this issue is important enough for them to focus on it.

To do this, IEEE-USA is inviting all IEEE members to come to Washington on February 8 and 9 to discuss the bill with your elected leaders.

Full details are here: http://www.ieeeusa.org/policy/careerflyin/default.asp

If you are interested in education reform, concerned about how America is educating our future engineers and technologists, or worried about the declining number of American students who are majoring in STEM fields, this is your opportunity to make a difference. Please join IEEE-USA on February 8 and 9 to explain this problem, and this solution, with Congress.
