>> CHAPTER DEVELOPMENT FUND
>> ------------------------
>> We'd encourage you to apply for the chapter development fund to assist in
>> the development of your chapter. A regional chapter may request up to
>> $1,000 from the Chapter Development Fund annually. A student chapter may
>> request up to $200 from the Chapter Development Fund annually. Joint
>> projects, including any combination of regional and student chapters, may
>> request up to $1500. annually. Here are the details and the online
>> application form http://www.asis.org/Chapters/chapterdevfundform.html
>>
>> CHANGES VOTED DURING THE LAST CHAPTER ASSEMBLY IN OCTOBER 2012
>> --------------------------------------------------------------
>> In order to enhance greater collaboration and knowledge sharing within
>> and among chapters, SIGs and other bodies, the Chapter Assembly approved
>> the following three changes at the 2012 Annual Meeting (something that
>> officers of Student and Regional Chapters need to note):
>>
>> 1) Judging criteria for student and regional Chapter-of-the-Year awards
>> will be modified to have 5 points allocated for collaboration with any SIG,
>> chapter or a body within or outside ASIS&T. For the student chapter award,
>> these points would be taken from the 40 points allocated for Chapter
>> Activities. [Jury will take a lenient view of this criteria this year]
>>
>> 2) We will create an opt-out (instead of opt-in) to the various lists for
>> leaders. If you are a chapter leader, you are automatically added to the
>> key lists such as the list for all chapters and any other list.
>>
>> 3) From this point forward, all student and regional chapter annual
>> reports will be made public (instead of them being viewed only by the
>> jury), but only after the jury has decided on the award. A chapter
>> submitting a report will have an opt-out option in the submission form if
>> it doesn’t want the report to be made public. [or you could contact us by
>> email should you wish to opt out]
>>
>> YOUR SUGGESTIONS
>> ----------------
>> We have implemented certain changes. These include monthly Skype meetings
>> of the Chapter Assembly Advisory Committee, and beginning to revisit some
>> of the documents - bylaws / chapter officer manuals, etc. Do please let us
>> know your feedback, concerns and suggestions, as well as any update about
>> your chapter. These will be helpful to discuss during the upcoming ASIS&T
>> Board Meeting 3 weeks from now, and also for the Chapter Assembly to take
>> up.

>> Warm regards,
