Colleagues,
We'd like to thank everyone who particpated in and helped
recruit
participants for the recent ASIS&T European survey. The
results of the
survery are attached.
A brief summary of the report follows:
"The ASIS&T Membership Committee was asked by the
Board to develop
strategies regarding how to attract and retain new members
outside the
U.S. In particular, the committee was asked to identify
benefits and
services of value to potential members outside the U.S.
During the
Membership Committee meeting at the November, 2006
ASIS&T Annual
Meeting, Cassidy Suigmoto and Diane Sonnenwald volunteered
to address
this issue for Europe, with the assistance of Caryn
Anderson, Chair of
the Membership Committee. The results of their investigation
clearly
point to a number of potential ASIS&T benefits that
European information
professionals would find of value and which would encourage
them to
become members. Holding the annual meeting periodically in
Europe,
mentoring opportunities, and more coverage of European
issues in
publications (newsletters or in the Bulletin) top the list
of
recommendations. The investigation also generated a list of
regional
professional associations that ASIS&T may be able to
partner with in the
future as strategies are developed to provide and strengthen
these
benefits. "
Thanks again to everyone who participated in the survey!
