[Chapters-l] Updating list of Chapter Officers for 2013-2014

[Naresh Agarwal]

Hi Chapter leaders,

Hope you all doing well!

We'd like to work towards increased communication between chapters - both
regional and student.

1) As a first step towards that, we've created a spreadsheet with the list
of officers for 2013-2014. Could you please update your particulars in the
spreadsheet http://tinyurl.com/k5426q5. Do please try to update the
particulars by November 30.

These addresses would also be added to the chapters-l list. The list is
designed to be open so that you can see the officers in other chapters and
reach out to them for ideas or collaboration. The Chapter Assembly would
like to see increased shared activities between student and regional
chapters. The color coding in the spreadsheet shows chapters close to you
that you can collaborate with. Do please reply to this email if you have
comments or suggestions.

Some of the other initiatives by the chapter assembly include (we need your
support to make these happen):

2) Sharing the reports of winning regional and student chapters with the
rest of the chapters to serve as models. Could the winning chapters (for
this year, and also previous years) write to naresh.agarwal at simmons.edu to
provide their consent to share their reports. If you have your winning
reports easily accessible in your computer hard drives, do please attach
them as well. It would be a great help to other chapters.

3) We'd also invite all regional and student chapters to write up your
plans for the year now itself (keeping the annual report you submit at the
end of the year in mind).

Criteria in annual reports / chapter of the year awards:

http://www.asis.org/awards/studentchapteroftheyear.html#Checklist

Your plan must include at least one event with a collaboration with another
chapter or SIG.

There could be a Wiki or a shared document in the future where you could
share your plans and report for the year (the annual reports are due in
Jul-Aug 2014, but we'd like to encourage you to begin planning now itself,
and share your plans/ideas/questions with other chapters).

4) We're also planning to hold quarterly online meetings of all chapters so
you can connect with each other.

That's the update for now. Do write with your comments and suggestions.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Naresh Agarwal, Chapter Assembly Director
