[Neasis-l] Get involved with NEASIST!

[Darcy Duke]

Get involved with NEASIST!

Want to help create great local programs in areas of information science 
that are of interest to you?  Know a speaker you’ve been wanting to 
hear?  Help plan our future programs!  We’ve sponsored programs on a 
variety of topics from blogging to the future of fair use - see our list of 
past programs: http://www.asis.org/Chapters/neasis/past.html

Want to become involved in the leadership of NEASIST?  Then a position on 
the NEASIST Executive Board could be just what you are looking for!

We need you!  The heart of an organization is its members, especially those 
who volunteer and make things happen.  Volunteering is rewarding to you as 
well - you’ll get more opportunities to network with your colleagues in 
ASIST, gain leadership experience, and help direct the future of our 
organization.

Below are the ways you can get involved.  If you are interested in any of 
the positions below, please let me know and I’d be happy to provide you 
with more details.  Elections for contested board positions will happen in 
late July/early August (by mail), so please respond soon.
