The document outlines the best practices for conducting paperless meetings during Region Assembly gatherings, specifically focusing on Region 1 of the American Society of Civil Engineers. It details the process of transitioning from printed reports to digital presentations, highlighting the importance of standardizing report formats and ensuring timely communication with Section delegates. The initiative began in April 2011 and has received positive feedback from attendees, emphasizing the benefits of electronic sharing during presentations and the need for ongoing improvements in report formatting. Key success factors include the effective use of technology to project reports and the importance of clear communication regarding deadlines for report submissions. The document also notes setbacks, such as the need to change report formats from WORD to POWERPOINT for better visibility. Recommendations stress the importance of follow-up with Section presidents and the necessity of not assuming compliance based on a single announcement. Overall, the practice has proven successful and will be continued in future assemblies.
