Message-ID: Greetings, At the recent ASIST Board meeting, discussion centered around the New Leader program - (about: https://www.asis.org/awards/asistnewleadersaward.html ). Part of this program involves assigning awardees to a mentor and placement with a Chapter, SIG or Committee to accomplish a project that benefits the placement group. The Board wanted the New Leader affiliations to appear on each group's website so that their work for ASIST would be more evident and so it would be simpler for the other members of their placement groups to communicate with them. These are the 2014-16 New Leaders assigned to Chapters and SIGs Jeremy McLaughlin, masters student at San Jose State University. Mentor: Mary Ann Harlan, Lecturer at San Jose State University.

Start planning for elections!! Message-ID: Quick reminder: If your SIG hasn't turned in your annual report - please note that it is due on September 15th. You can turn it in via the form here: http://www.asis.org/SIG/sigreportfom.html Budgets are due by September 15th as well via this form: http://www.asis.org/SIG/sigbudgetform.html FUND NOTICE: If your SIG has FY14 allocation funds remaining - please be sure to spend these by September 30th. They can no longer be rolled over! Unspent allocation funds are forfeit (NOTE: your earned income will remain in your account from year to year). ELECTIONS: Be thinking ahead to SIG elections! Most SIGs have only two elected positions - chair and chair elect. The rest are appointed positions. Please don't hesitate to ask any members of the SIG cabinet if you have questions or concerns about SIG elections! Recommended protocol is as follows: *Nominations eight weeks prior to the annual meeting (Week of September 8th)* Candidates for SIG officers should be nominated by a standing committee consisting of the SIG chair and two other SIG members appointed by the chair. The committee should prepare the ballot, with at least two nominees for each office to be filled. Nominations from the membership should be encouraged, but must follow the procedures outlined in the SIG's bylaws. Generally, these rules require that names be submitted by petition signed by at least ten members of the SIG and received by the chair at least eight weeks prior to the SIG's annual planning meeting. *Elections 6 weeks prior to the annual meeting (Week of September 26th)* All SIGs should hold their elections at least six weeks prior to the annual SIG planning meetings, which are held in conjunction with the ASIS Annual Meeting. Early elections provide new officers the opportunity to begin generating ideas for the following year and to make necessary plans to assure their attendance at the all-important planning meeting. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
