Below is the ballot for election of Chapter Assembly Director and
Deputy
Director.  The Nominations Committee was unable to find additional
candidates who were wiling to serve, but Beata Panagopoulos and Amy
Wallace
are running for second terms.  There is space below for write in
candidates.

ASIS&T Bylaws do allow electronic ballots for Chapter Assembly Director
and
Deputy Director, just as we allow electronic ballots for Chapter
Officers.

Only one vote per Chapter is allowed or recognized, and that should
come
from either the Chapter Chair or the Assembly Representative.  Please
reply
to me rather than to the list for confidentiality.

Results will be announced at the Chapter Assembly Meeting in Austin.

ASIST Chapter Assembly Director 

 	Beata Panagopoulos 

Candidate Statement:
	It has been a great privilege to serve as ASIS&T Chapter
Assembly
Director for the past two years.  Representing the Chapters' interests
on
the ASIS&T Board has been very rewarding because the ASIS&T leadership
is
listening and interested in helping us find solutions to the problems
and
issues chapters face.  The redesigned website offers us a more central
place
to post documentation such as chapter best practices and the Chapter
Development Fund application template.  The online membership database
provides a wealth of information for chapter member recruitment and
retention.  Authorized chapter leaders can get chapter rosters and
update
reports with a couple of clicks; any ASIS&T member can run queries on
the
database to find members in a particular chapter, SIG, or field of
expertise.  We have created a new award to recognize chapter
innovation, and
we've begun to institutionalize regular communication with the chapter
leaders to hear from you what the current and ongoing issues are.  I
would
be honored to be reelected in order to continue working on problems
such
as how to recruit chapter officers, manage a chapter that covers a
large
geographical expanse, find easy technological solutions for chapter
communication, and finally, reach out to our international chapters.

ASIST Chapter Assembly Deputy Director

 	 Amy Wallace

Candidate Statement:
I believe that the greatest strength of the American Society for
Information
Science and Technology (ASIST) is its members.  People in our field do
not
just wake up one day and say hey I want to be a part of ASIST.  Members
hear
about the society from colleagues, student chapter advisors, and local
chapter members.  Many members are drawn to the society because of
great
local programs, events, mentorship opportunities, newsletters,
websites, and
scholarships.  ASIST chapters are doing great things, which bring
people
into the society and keep people engaged.  As a society we must
continue to
recognize the importance of chapters and help chapters share ideas that
will
no doubt help other chapters, special interest groups, committees, and
the
society at large.

It has been a great pleasure to serve as Deputy Assembly Director.  It
has
given me a chance to listen to chapter needs and recognize chapter
accomplishments.  It has allowed me to voice chapter concerns on the
ASIST
Advisory Board.  While in office I worked hard to facilitate awareness
and
communication by keeping detailed minutes for chapter assembly and the
chapter planning breakfast, compiling and circulating a list of chapter
best
practices, drafting the new Chapter Innovation of the Year Award,
pushing
for accurate and accessible membership data, and working to streamline
the
chapter awards process.  Prior to serving as Deputy Assembly Director,
I
served in key leadership positions in the Los Angeles Chapter,
including two
terms as chair, chair elect/program chair, nominations chair, and
awards
chair.  In 2003 my chapter honored me with a nomination for the James
M.
Cretsos Leadership Award.  Re-elect me if you think that I can continue
to
make a difference for chapters.
