There will be an in-person Joint Northeast/Southwest Area meeting on May 3, 2025 in Albuquerque, NM, at the the University of New Mexico.
It will also be a great chance to network with other IEEE leaders and learn about their activities, as well as meet the student chapter leaders.
The Draft Agenda is below.

A tour of the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History is planned.

Lodging for 2 nights (2-3 May) is at:   Hilton Garden Inn Uptown, 6510 Americas Pkwy, Albuquerque, NM 87110 (505)944-0300. A discounted rate of $149.00/night is available for reservations made before 21 Apr 2025. Online Booking Link: https://group.hiltongardeninn.com/v18958

Please register below so we have an accurate headcount for planning!  The Region will sponsor sending one delegate from each section, but if your section wants to send more you can do so at cost to the section.

We are planning a dinner on Friday night near the hotel for folks who will be arriving in town early, within walking distance from the hotel.  Meet at the hotel lobby around 5:30 PM.
