SUBJECT:   We need your Chapter and SIG logos/images for ASIS&T 2008

The membership committee again this year would like to encourage
networking, and help new members and first-time conference attendees
to find like-minded colleagues AT ASIS&T 2008.  Last year we all had a
wonderful time promoting this concept by asking all chapters and SIGs
to create and submit a group logo/image.  If you submitted one last
year and would like to use it again, we still have them!  If you did
not participate last year or would like to change your image just do
the following: Put the image a file in a GIF or JPG format.  The image
itself should not be larger than 1 inch by 1 inch in size if printed
out on a piece of paper.  We will take care of printing these
logos/images 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 would like to use these logos to especially introduce groups at the
New Member/First Attendee Brunch so that 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.  Last year, we were able to
provide a real "brunch" instead of the traditional continental
breakfast because several of the SIGs and Chapter gave a small
donation.  This year again, can your chapter or SIG make a
contribution of $50 - $150 to "sponsor" this important event for our
newest colleagues?

Please indicate by email to Heather D. Pfeiffer, hdp at cs.nmsu.edu, by
September 15th if your group would like to sponsor the brunch.  Like
last year, if you donate we will give you time to talk about your SIG
or Chapter at the brunch.

Please email your group's logo/image by October 1st to Chris Leeder AT
leederca at yahoo.com; if you have any problems coming up with ideas
please email either Heather or Chris and we can get someone to help you.

Looking forward to seeing all of you at ASIS&T 2008.

Sincerely,

Heather D. Pfeiffer
