[Students-l] ASIST student chapters competition - win prizes to attend the Annual Meeting in Seattle!

[Chirag Shah]

Dear ASIST students and officers,

We are pleased to announce the first ASIST Student Chapters Competition! The competition is simple - get as many new members to your chapter as you can! Here are the details:

- Every ASIST student chapter that started before June 2013 is qualified.
- No need for any submission. We will use your annual chapter report (due July 1st) to extract the membership information.
- The criteria will be based on % increase (only positive growth) on membership, and not the absolute values. This way each chapter can have a fair chance irrespective of their size or geo-location.
- The % will be calculated considering the chapter's membership count at the beginning of the year (as of July 1, 2013) and at the end of the year (as of June 30, 2014).
- The prizes will be free registrations to the ASIST Annual Meeting (AM) - this year to be held in Seattle. Three prizes will be given:
	- First prize: three AM registrations
	- Second prize: two AM registrations
	- Third prize: one AM registration

Given that we're running this competition for the first time, there may be some changes made as we move forward and they will be announced on this list. Meanwhile, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us.

Remember, your chapter report is due on July 1st as always. This report will be used to judge the Student Chapter of the Year Award, and also for identifying the three prizes described above.


Sincerely,
Chirag Shah (Rutgers University) - Student Chapter Representative (chirags at rutgers.edu)
Daniel Alemneh (University of North Texas) - Student Chapter Alternative Representative (Daniel.Alemneh at unt.edu)
