6. Call for Volunteers

The executive is getting a little top heavy with graduate students. We
are looking for a few full members to add for balance. Commitment can
be as little as joining six teleconference executive meetings or as
much you like.

Managers - you may not have time, but how about tapping one of your
engineers on the shoulder and telling them it is a great networking and
development opportunity.
