We'd like to work towards increased communication between chapters - both regional and student. 1) As a first step towards that, we've created a spreadsheet with the list of officers for 2013-2014. Could you please update your particulars in the spreadsheet http://tinyurl.com/k5426q5. Do please try to update the particulars by November 30. These addresses would also be added to the chapters-l list. The list is designed to be open so that you can see the officers in other chapters and reach out to them for ideas or collaboration. The Chapter Assembly would like to see increased shared activities between student and regional chapters. The color coding in the spreadsheet shows chapters close to you that you can collaborate with. Do please reply to this email if you have comments or suggestions. Some of the other initiatives by the chapter assembly include (we need your support to make these happen): 2) Sharing the reports of winning regional and student chapters with the rest of the chapters to serve as models. Could the winning chapters (for this year, and also previous years) write to naresh.agarwal at simmons.edu to provide their consent to share their reports. If you have your winning reports easily accessible in your computer hard drives, do please attach them as well. It would be a great help to other chapters. 3) We'd also invite all regional and student chapters to write up your plans for the year now itself (keeping the annual report you submit at the end of the year in mind). Criteria in annual reports / chapter of the year awards: http://www.asis.org/Chapters/ChapterAnnualActivitiesReportForm.pdf http://www.asis.org/awards/studentchapteroftheyear.html#Checklist Your plan must include at least one event with a collaboration with another chapter or SIG. There could be a Wiki or a shared document in the future where you could share your plans and report for the year (the annual reports are due in Jul-Aug 2014, but we'd like to encourage you to begin planning now itself, and share your plans/ideas/questions with other chapters). 4) We're also planning to hold quarterly online meetings of all chapters so you can connect with each other. That's the update for now. Do write with your comments and suggestions. Don't forget to update your officer list by Nov 30 by clicking on http://tinyurl.com/k5426q5 Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Warm regards, Naresh Agarwal, Chapter Assembly Director Michael Leach, Chapter Assembly Deputy Director Student leaders can also reach out to: Chirag Shah, Student Chapter Representative to Chapter Assembly Daniel Alemneh, Student Chapter Alternate Representative to Chapter Assembly ______________________________________________________________________ Naresh Agarwal, PhD (Assistant Professor) Graduate School of Library and Information Science, Simmons College, Boston MA 02115 +1 (617) 521 2836 (O) nareshag at gmail.com / naresh.agarwal at simmons.edu www.nareshagarwal.co.nr ?If your heart is fully opened, you cannot find fault with anyone because you will see everyone as part of yourself.? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
