How to Make the Most of Your IASSIST Membership between Conferences

What does it mean to be a member of IASSIST these days? Does IASSIST do anything other than host annual conferences? Come talk with members of the Communications Committee, the Membership Chair and other IASSIST officials to discuss these and other burning questions you may have. This interactive poster session will reveal ways to get more deeply involved in IASSIST in between conferences by joining committees or interest groups. Perhaps you want to give something back to the organization you love so much. Perhaps you have an idea how the organization can do things better (and even better, the time to help us put it into practice). Perhaps you want to know if others share an important professional interest and how to take that forward. Or, perhaps you are a new member and are just curious to know what makes IASSIST tick. The poster will explain how the committee structure of IASSIST works, how you can contribute your time or expertise to benefit the organization, and will present results of the recent members' survey. More importantly, IASSIST committee members will be at the poster session ready to talk to you about YOUR needs and interests regarding any aspect of the organization. A suggestion box will be available for anyone wishing to provide anonymous feedback. IASSIST is currently 100 percent volunteer run. We know we're not perfect. Help us improve through your active participation and feedback.
