You are receiving this monthly newsletter because you are the Chair, Chair-elect, or Treasurer of an ASIS&T SIG. Please read for ASIS&T policies, procedures, and upcoming deadlines that are pertinent to your position.

SIG Meeting & Event Options

The video linked below explains the various options a SIG has for hosting an event. Please review the video then send any questions you may have to membership@asist.org. This video is also saved in the SIG Cabinet iConnect Library under General Resources.

CHANGE TO SIG WORKSHOPS AT ANNUAL MEETING

For the 2025 Annual Meeting we will be offering SIGs the opportunity to offer either a Symposium or a Workshop ahead of the Annual Meeting. If you watch the video linked above, Lydia describes the difference between a symposium and a workshop but the bottom line is that a workshop should have learning outcomes and skills transfer. A symposium would consist of a series of presentations by SIG members. These can be offered either virtually, face-to-face, or both (as two separate events). Please keep an eye on this newsletter and your emails for more on how to submit for a session at the Annual Meeting.

Of course, SIGs are also invited to submit proposals for panels at the Annual Meeting.

ASIS&T HQ STAFF CHANGE

Starting on January 2nd, Marlo Russell will be your primary point of contact at ASIS&T HQ. Marlo can be reached at membership@asist.org. That email address will also be staffed from now until December 20 by Lydia.
