[Asis-l] Welcome back, MI-ASIST is active again!

[Sabharwal, Arjun]

Dear Michigan ASIS&T Chapter members:

We are delighted to inform you that the Michigan Chapter of the Association for Information Science and Technology has formally been reactivated.  We have revised our by-laws, updated the Website (http://www.asis.org/Chapters/michap/index.html) and there is a LinkedIn group (http://www.linkedin.com/groups/MIASIS-T-Michigan-Chapter-Association-4643953) as well.  We plan to extend our communications to Facebook and Twitter as well.

Here is what we plan to accomplish as a first item of business: Call for nominations to serve as Treasurer/Secretary (an elected officer after our election next year) and Communications Officer.   If you are an active member receiving this email and know you can offer your time, please contact us.  The ASIST Annual Meeting in Montreal is in November, and you can find other upcoming event on the ASIS&T Website: http://www.asis.org/conferences.html.  We look forward to seeing you at chapter events, conferences, and please take a few moments to join our LinkedIn group and ensure that you are receiving the chapter list emails via chapter_mi-l at asis.org.  The Michigan Chapter of ASIS&T remains open to members living outside Michigan or the US.  

At this time, we would like to take this opportunity to thank Dick Hill, Jan Hatzakos, Vanessa Foss, Steven Hardin, and the Chapter Assembly Advisory Committee for all their time and assistance in getting us to this point.  
Sincerely,

Michigan ASIS&T Interim Board:
