The highlights with web links can be found just below the Agenda section. There is also an attache d pdf of the same highlights with weblinks.\n\nThe meeting room can only a ccommodate 30 people. Adjacent to the meeting room is a dining area for ov erflow to accommodate more than 30 people.\n\nFor those who cannot attend the meeting\, you can email me at john.santiago@ieee.org or john@e-litewor ks.com about your interests of topics\, new services and/or other recommen dations. We'll compile and consolidate them for the meeting. If you have t ime\, I'd suggest you review the highlights of past activities and other i nformation that can be found in the Agenda section shown below.\n\nA surve y will also be sent out requesting feedback on planning of future activiti es and services. For example\, using IEEE [vTools](https://vtools.ieee.org /tools/) (vTools stand for Volunteer Tools) as well as zoom\, google meet\ , Microsoft Teams should the section re-activate past Section chapters tha t may be geographically widely dispersed? VTools Analytical Database (OU A nalytics) shows the following number of section members for those with no chapters within the section.\n\n- Communication Society (48 members)\n\n- Solid-State Circuits (47 members)\n\n- IEEE Signal Processing Society (30 members)\n\n- Aerospace and Electronics Systems Society (22 members)\n\nUs ing [vTools\,](https://vtools.ieee.org/tools/) one can "simplify the admin istrative tasks to our volunteers via the use of online tools\, reducing t ime spent managing activities and assisting in member development."\n\nOne of the new features in vtools is called Local Groups. Here\, a member can request formation of a new informal group in your Section. Perhaps there is a lot of interest in Blockchain or avid HAM Radio operators. You can fo rm a [Local Group](.https://vtools.vtools.ieee.org/home/local_groups) to g et like minds together.\n\nSpeaker(s): Daniel Thomson\, Dr John Santiago\n \nAgenda: \nAGENDA\n\n5:15 pm - 5:30 pm: Networking\n5:30 pm- 6:30 pm: Sec tion Member Meeting\n\n• 2023 Rising Stars Conference Report (20 minutes ): Daniel Thomson\n• State of the Pikes Peak Section Summary (15 minutes ): Dr. John Santiago\n• Open Discussion: Q&A (25 minutes)\n\n6:30 pm - 7 :30 pm: EXCOM Meeting (all members are invited)\n\n• Treasurer Report (1 0-15 minutes) – John Reinert\n• Succession Leadership & Planning & Sec tion Sustainability (10 minutes) • Q&A: Future Plans & Open Discussion ( 35-40 minutes)\n\n7:30 pm - 7:45 pm: Networking\n\nHIGHLIGHTS\n\n- VIDEO S UMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENTS.
