Subject: [Siguse-l] thank you to everyone - SIG USE 10th Anniversary


Dear SIG USE Members,
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped make our SIG USE 10th anniversary celebration a great success.   And special thanks to everyone who participated on committees, helped on teams for organizing particular events, and attended events.  
SIG USE had many notable achievements this year, among which were the following:
A 10th anniversary panel session, which featured a highly participatory and spirited Fishbowl dialogue.  125+ attendees! 
A smashing birthday celebration at our SIG USE evening reception, complete with birthday cake 
The establishment of our Academy of SIG USE Fellows, to which we have now inducted our first 10 Fellows 
A terrific symposium on the theme of collaboration 
The first SIG to have a presence and streaming events in Second Life at ASIS&T 
Lots of social networking and news shared via Twitter, Facebook, our web site, and the SIG USE discussion list.  If you haven’t joined us in one of these venues, please do consider it now!
Planning activities are ongoing in the capable hands of our new SIG USE officers:
Chair:  Soo Young Rieh, University of Michigan
Chair-elect: Lynn Westbrook, University of Texas at Austin
Treasurer: Sanda Erdelez, University of Missouri-Columbia
Jury Awards Chair: Dania Bilal, University of Tennessee
Communications Coordinator: Stephanie Willen Brown, Park Library, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Webmaster: Tawnya Means, University of Florida
Second Life Coordinator: Diane Nahl, University of Hawaii at Manoa
SIG Cabinet Representative &SIG USE Communications Team: Sean Goggins, Drexel University
We’ve had a great year!  And we have our upcoming 10th anniversary of our SIG USE symposium, as well as many more activities, to look forward to in 2010.  I hope you will all consider getting involved and helping our planning team.
Best wishes,
Crystal
