It?s taken us a while, but I believe that we are back on track and considered to be an active chapter. We have consistently organized 2-3 events each year, including Distinguished Lecture Series. This year we also set a new example for all other ASIST chapters by organizing the first ASIST Regional Meeting in April. So it?s time to bring in new blood! The positions are: chair, treasurer, webmaster, publicist, and secretary. Please email me (and just me, not the whole list!) if you are interested in any of these positions starting fall of this year. They are all low-demand, high-reward positions - suitable for both professionals and students. And most of us are still around to help you out as needed! Sincerely, Chirag Shah Chair, NJ ASIST http://www.asis.org/Chapters/nj/
