[Asistregional] First ASIST Regional Meeting in 2016

[Leach, Michael R.]

Hello Everyone,


   Thank you for volunteering to be on this discussion list, which will be used to plan the first - and following - regional ASIS&T meetings.


    Some of you, at this point in time, will be observers, and other will be active planners.   Note - anyone can chime in at any point, with questions, suggestions, etc.  Does not matter if you are an "observer" or not.


    Right now, Chirag and I are focusing on a one-day event, to take place in March 2016, at Rutgers University.  At this stage of the planning process, we need to:


1.  Determine the theme/content of this meeting (we likely need to bring in some SIG leaders for this discussion & planning), and


2.  Also reach out to local student chapters.  Right now, we have the Rutgers student chapter, and we will soon invite the Pratt one; any other suggestions?


    In terms of a start time, we are thinking around 10:00am for program (with a 9-10am registration/arrival/greeting period), ending around 4:00pm, with an option for some to attend dinner together that evening.   Not sure which day of the week, but we are focused on a weekday, not a weekend day.


    There will be a registration fee - but we'll hold off on determining that until we have the program/theme decided.


    What do people think about the overall plan, as well as #1 and #2 above?


    Thanks.


Michael Leach

Past Director, Chapter Assembly

P.S.  Thanks Heather for that response to my test email!
