Dear all,

The Webinar Task Force would like to request SIG Cabinet’s input on webinar
ideas and possible SIGs roles in shaping future development of webinar
activities in general.

Based on the recent ASIS&T survey (by Diane M. Neal and June M. Abbas), the
webinars are a good idea and people are in support of them. Webinars indeed
can be a strategy for enhancing member benefits and raising the visibility
of ASIS&T as a resource for timely and accessible professional  development.
Among other activities the Webinar Task Force is expected to guide the
effort and offer recommendations to the ASIS&T Board and Headquarters on
various aspects, including: potential topics, target audiences, formats,
charging mechanisms, and related issues. 

In this regard, we would really appreciate it if you can send us your
thoughts on how SIGs could be involved, especially in terms of identifying
speakers and possibly hosting offerings of SIG-specific interest. 

Thanks,

The ASIS&T Task Force on Webinars, 
(Diane M. Neal, June M. Abbas, Remlee Green, Alex Garnett, and  Daniel G.
Alemneh).
