[Students-l] [Chapters-l] FW: Your Webinar Invitation: Join us for "Virtual Meeting of Regional and Student Chapters Leaders"

Wed Jul 2 11:05:52 EDT 2014

Dear Chapter leaders and advisers,

1) We're holding the *Second Virtual Meeting of **ASIS&T **Regional and
Student Chapter Leaders/Advisers*

Webinar Date:  *Thursday, July 17, 2014, 3:30pm-4:30pm* (EDT)

The purpose of the virtual meeting is to connect regional and student
chapters with each other so that they can share information about
activities and projects, learn from the experiences of other chapters, and
develop collaborative relationships among the chapters. It will also be an
opportunity to discuss some of the initiatives of the Chapter Assembly. We
believe that encouraging interaction between chapters will help build
stronger individual chapters and benefit the overall Association by
encouraging knowledge sharing among chapters. 1-2 officers and/or advisers
from each chapter are encouraged to attend.

>>>> Assembly would like to see increased shared activities between student and
>>>> regional chapters. The color coding in the spreadsheet shows chapters close
>>>> to you that you can collaborate with. Do please reply to this email if you
>>>> have comments or suggestions.
>>>>
>>>> Some of the other initiatives by the chapter assembly include (we need
>>>> your support to make these happen):
>>>>
>>>> 2) Sharing the reports of winning regional and student chapters with
>>>> the rest of the chapters to serve as models. Could the winning chapters (for
>>>> this year, and also previous years) write to naresh.agarwal at simmons.edu to
>>>> provide their consent to share their reports. If you have your winning
>>>> reports easily accessible in your computer hard drives, do please attach
>>>> them as well. It would be a great help to other chapters.
>>>>
>>>> 3) We'd also invite all regional and student chapters to write up your
>>>> plans for the year now itself (keeping the annual report you submit at the
>>>> end of the year in mind).
>>>>
>>>> Criteria in annual reports / chapter of the year awards:
>>>> http://www.asis.org/Chapters/ChapterAnnualActivitiesReportForm.pdf
>>>> http://www.asis.org/awards/studentchapteroftheyear.html#Checklist
>>>>
>>>> Your plan must include at least one event with a collaboration with
>>>> another chapter or SIG.
>>>>
>>>> There could be a Wiki or a shared document in the future where you
>>>> could share your plans and report for the year (the annual reports are due
>>>> in Jul-Aug 2014, but we'd like to encourage you to begin planning now
>>>> itself, and share your plans/ideas/questions with other chapters).
>>>>
>>>> 4) We're also planning to hold quarterly online meetings of all
>>>> chapters so you can connect with each other.
>>>>
>>>> That's the update for now. Do write with your comments and suggestions.
