[Asist-announce] Const. Amend, New Home Page, Webinars, Bulletin and JASIST TOCs

Fri Apr 11 11:06:40 EDT 2014

AMENDMENT to the ASIS&T Constitution.   ASIS&T members voted overwhelmingly
in favor of the 2014 Amendment to the ASIS&T Constitution, shortening the
number of days in which ballots are to be returned.  This change makes the
constitution symmetrical with the bylaws which were previously amended.

NEW ASIS&T HOME PAGE/web design RFP.  http://www.asis.org/index.html has
been redesigned by a task force led by Diane Rasmussen Pennington.  The old
home page is available via a link.  This is the beginning of a process to
revitalize and presented a cleaner face to the world.  

We have also issued an RFP for complete website redesign, which is open to
all.  http://asis.org/proposal-infrastructure-April-1.pdf.  The RFP will
give all a complete sense of where we see the ASIS&T web site going.
