On Friday, January 25, 2019 the IEEE Houston Section welcomed the Region 5  EXCOM team to Houston, TX. Houston is home to the Houston Texans, Rockets, Astros, Dynamo and IEEE Houston Section and we were honoured to host the Region 5 EXCOM with a networking reception. The reception was intended to give Houston Section members, Societies Chairs, and Student Branch faculty the opportunity to meet Region 5 leadership and discuss where support and guidance may be needed on IEEE Initiatives and Programs.

It was a great opportunity for all IEEE Members and Houston Section Corporate partners to meet. “The reception was a great time to play a networking game as well called Connect the Dots.” says Christopher Sanderson, R5 South Area Chair and HOU Sec. Vice-Chair. All of the registered attendees had special designated dots to help stimulate conversations around 4 areas.

Thank you to Alice Wang, Houston Section Chair and the rest of the HOU Sec. EXCOM in participating and helping in the reception. We all get caught up in day-to-day activities where we work, but it’s important to network and expand your base of knowledge in order to bring new thought processes and insights into play. For the latest information about IEEE Events in Houston, visit our website.
