[Sigiii-l] Welcome to 2005-2006 SIG-III officers

[Nadia Caidi]

Dear SIG-III members,

It is my great pleasure to introduce to you the slate of officers for 
2005-2006. As you will see, the committee is truly international and we 
look forward to a great year serving the SIG-III and ASIST community.

Below is the list of SIG-III officers with their contact information, so 
that you can reach them if need be.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please take a few minutes to look at the list. Unless 
there is a majority expressing disagreement with one appointement, the 
list of officers will be considered approved.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or any of us.
We are also always interested in volunteers for this coming year as well 
as in anyone interested in holding a specific position for the following 
year.

Finally, if you have any ideas for new projects and initiatives that you 
would like SIG-III sponsor, please let us know.

We look forward to seeing you at the annual meeting in Charlotte.

Best,
Nadia Caidi
