Dear colleagues As you may have already learned, the nominations committee asked me to be one of the candidate for ASIS&T President. I was not only surprised and deeply honored but also moved by this unique gesture vis-a-vis an international member. Even though I am not personally too keen of formal positions, I thought that this offer could not be refused. I have now to prepare a statement for the membership explaining what "my" plans are for our society. Like any one else I have my own ideas about what ASIS&T priorities should be. But I am even more convinced that even the best ideas in the world, have no chance to be implemented unless they reflect members' aspirations and will. Whatever ASIS&T undertakes it can only succeed if its members fully commit themselves to the success of the endeavour. As a starting point in seeking the largest possible participation and involvement, I'd like to ask you what is in your opinion THE most important task that ASIS&T should accomplish in order to better serve its members and fulfill its mission, and that is doable within 3 to 5 years. We seem to be collectively quite aware of issues and problems, but less prepared to propose practical actions. What I look for is DO's. And doers :-) I would be most indebted from your input. I don't commit to follow the all suggestions I'll receive but will certainly consider them with the highest attention. Whatever the outcome of the election, I hope this can be the beginning of an easier and wider participation of all members in making their society grow. Thank you very much in advance Cordially, Michel Menou PS Of course, what you will say in the on-going members' survey will also feed my reflection, if available in time. So please respond to it.
