[Sig-l] SIG Awards Deadlines: July 15 and August 15

[KT Vaughan]

Hi SIG leaders!

This is a reminder that the annual SIG awards deadlines are looming. 

First up is the SIG Publication of the Year award, due July 15th.  See 
http://www.asis.org/awards/sigpublicationoftheyear.html for information 
about this, including criteria, a link to the submissions page, etc.  
Note that the eligible time is for July 1st, 2007 through June 30, 2008 
- so if you have a publication just sitting around waiting for release 
now is the time to send it out!  From the award criteria:
"Any type of SIG Publication is eligible, including newsletters, 
transactions, directories, or other publications. To be considered, a 
publication must be in a format that is readable/usable by the jury 
members. Any electronic and/or self-published material should be sent to 
HQ in order to be considered."  NOTE: This INCLUDES websites!

SIG Member of the Year nominations are due August 15th.  See 
http://www.asis.org/awards/sigmemberoftheyear.html for more 
information.  We have not awarded a SIG Member of the Year award since 
2005, so I know there are lots of you out there who are eligible.

SIG of the Year nominations are due August 15th.  There has been a lot 
of confusion about this process.  YOUR SIG'S ANNUAL REPORT IS ALSO DUE 
AUGUST 15TH EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT NOMINATING YOUR SIG FOR THE AWARD.  
There are financial implications for SIGs who neglect to turn in an 
annual report on time (or at all).  The current Annual Report form is 
online at http://www.asis.org/SIG/sig_activity.html.  Note that I hope 
to have this revised before August 1st so that it is a bit more streamlined.

We are in full planning mode for the annual meeting in October.  Note 
that the preliminary program is up, and I believe early registration is 
also open.  Looks to be a really interesting conference!

Please let me or your "shepherd" know if you have 
questions/comments/concerns.  I'll see you in Columbus!
