Colleagues,

We'd like to thank everyone who particpated in and helped recruit
participants for the recent ASIS&T European survey. The results of the
survery are attached.

A brief summary of the report follows:

"The ASIS&T Membership Committee was asked by the Board to develop
strategies regarding how to attract and retain new members outside the
U.S. In particular, the committee was asked to identify benefits and
services of value to potential members outside the U.S. During the
Membership Committee meeting at the November, 2006 ASIS&T Annual
Meeting, Cassidy Suigmoto and Diane Sonnenwald volunteered to address
this issue for Europe, with the assistance of Caryn Anderson, Chair of
the Membership Committee. The results of their investigation clearly
point to a number of potential ASIS&T benefits that European information
professionals would find of value and which would encourage them to
become members. Holding the annual meeting periodically in Europe,
mentoring opportunities, and more coverage of European issues in
publications (newsletters or in the Bulletin) top the list of
recommendations. The investigation also generated a list of regional
professional associations that ASIS&T may be able to partner with in the
future as strategies are developed to provide and strengthen these
benefits. "

Thanks again to everyone who participated in the survey!
