>>>>> Subject: [Chapters-l] Updating list of Chapter Officers for 2013-2014
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> 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/Chapters/ChapterAnnualActivitiesReportForm.pdf
>>>>> 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. Don't forget to update your officer list by Nov 30 by clicking
>>>>> onhttp://tinyurl.com/k5426q5
>>>>>
>>>>> Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
