[Sig-l] SIG leaders: We need your SIG logos!

[Pascal V. Calarco]

Dear SIG Leaders:

The membership committee would like to encourage networking, and help 
new members and first-time conference attendees to find like-minded 
colleagues at ASIS&T 2007.  In order to promote this concept, we are 
asking all chapters and SIGs to create and submit a group logo.  This 
should be an image file in a GIF or JPG format, which is no larger than 
1 inch by 1 inch in size.  We will take care of printing these logos for 
distribution at ASIS&T.  Everyone at the conference will then be able to 
select and attach any set of logos to their name badge to indicate their 
interests and affiliations.

Here are examples of how this might work: one could choose to attach 
logos from a home chapter, the chapter from the region where the member 
grew up or went to school. One might wear logos from SIGs one belongs to 
and from SIG topics one is interested in.  Conference attendees will be 
able to instantly identify people with similar interests or affiliations 
from the logos attached to their badges.

We are particularly interested in using the logos to introduce the 
various ASIS&T groups at the New Member/First Attendee Brunch.  That 
way, these new members will be able to easily recognize and get to  know 
people from various groups throughout the week.

As you may know, the Membership Committee welcomes attendees each year
with a New Member/First Conference Brunch.  This year, we would like  to
provide a real "brunch" instead of the traditional continental 
breakfast.  Can your chapter or SIG make a contribution of $50 - $150 
to "sponsor" this important event for our newest colleagues?

Please upload your group's logo by August 15 at the link from the main
conference web site.  If you have any problems, please feel free to
contact us at hdp at cs.nmsu.edu for help. Indicate when you upload your 
logo whether your chapter or SIG will be able to help sponsor the  brunch.

Looking forward to seeing all of you at ASIS&T 2007.

Sincerely,

Heather D. Pfeiffer
Caryn Anderson, Chair
Membership Committee
