[Asis-l] SIG-STI activities in Charlotte - please plan to join us!

[Flanagan, Patricia A]

Here are some SIG STI updates for ASIS&T Annual in Charlotte.  Looking
forward to seeing you there!  You are welcome to participate in any of the
following:

-SIG STI business meeting at Annual:   Monday, Oct. 31st, 11-12am
	We need a Chair Elect!  Incoming Chair will be Jian Qin from Syracuse
University.  Please consider participating in the SIG.  This is a great and
active group.
	We will also need ideas for technical sessions to begin developing
for the 2006 Annual conference.  Bring your ideas to the meeting!

-Dutch Treat Dinner:  also Monday the 31st.  We will be eating at the Mimosa
Grill (www.mimosagrill.com) at 7pm.  This allows a bit of time for those who
want to attend part of the Alumni Reception first.  It is on the blog and
wiki, but there will also be a sign-up sheet on site in Charlotte.

-Welcome Reception and SIG RUSH - Sunday Oct. 30th.  Stop by the SIG STI
table and learn about our activities.

-STI has three technical sessions on the Annual program (though a number of
programs on the early conference announcement were missing their SIG sponsor
names, so check the web site!).  They are:
