Dear ASIS&T chapter members:

At the ASIS&T Chapter Assembly meeting in Charlotte on Sunday, Oct. 30, at 
10:30 a.m., we will elect our representatives to two very important ASIS&T 
bodies:  the ASIS&T Nominations Committee and the Chapter of the Year 
Jury.  We hope that every chapter will send at least one representative to 
this meeting to vote.

Below you will find the slate of candidates for each election.  Please 
think about who you would like to represent Chapter Assembly and your 
interests, and let your Chapter Assembly representative know your choices. 
 If you would like to add a candidate to either slate, please notify me as 
soon as possible.

I would like to express my gratitude to the Chapter Assembly Nominations 
Committee (Mila Rush (Chair), Merri Beth Lavagnino, and KT Vaughan) for 
their hard work and collaboration coming up with this brilliant slate. And 
of course, many thanks to the candidates who have graciously accepted the 
challenge! 

Beata

Beata Panagopoulos
ASIS&T Chapter Assembly Director
