[Eurchap] Fwd: Chapter of the Year

[Fidelia Ibekwe]

Dear all,

I'm delighted to share with you this wonderful news. We won the chapter 
of the year award!!!
Many thanks are due to several board members for their active 
participation in this year's event: Tatjana Aparac for organizing such a 
high profile commemoration of the 75th anniversary at LIDA, Emil Levine 
for his support of student membership and Asian chapter setup and 
advice, Diane Sonnenwald for her active ambassadorship and participation 
in chapter events in Europe; Jonathan Levitt for organising the very 
interactive doctoral forum; Isto Huvila & Christian Schloegl, for their 
continued and active engagement in chapter affairs and for undertaking 
future chapter events; our intrepid and ever-so-dynamic secretary, 
ISabella Peters and her power team in Dusseldorf (Tamara Heck and 
others) for Social Media and communication. I can't end this long list 
without mentioning Michel Menou's relentless efforts to collect oral 
histories from european pioneers. To date, he has contacted up to 14 
pioneers. so if the ASIST oral histories have a strong european accent, 
we'll know why ;-).
As you can see, it was team work and I couldn't have done this without 
all of you on board. Many thanks. The award committee loved the vision 
we set out in our end of year report.
Adam Girard has taken up the torch and will surely lead us through an 
exciting and eventful year!

Yours,
Fidelia Ibekwe-SanJuan

I am delighted to announce that the 2012 ASIST Chapter of the Year Award 
will be given to the European Chapter of ASIST. It can be difficult to 
operate in such a distributed geographic area, but this chapter 
continues to excel at their activities, and engages members throughout 
the area. They are especially to be commended for their work with 
European conferences, their excellent collaboration with sister 
societies, and their role in facilitating the development of new 
chapters in other areas with distributed membership. In addition to 
these activities, the chapter conducted an oral history project, 
organized a doctoral forum, and re-energized their communication 
channels using social media tools. Perhaps most notable, however, was 
the detailed action plan submitted with their annual report, for the 
ongoing strength and development of ASIST in Europe. In all things, this 
chapter has demonstrated extraordinary organization, commitment, and 
spirit. Congratulations!
