Chapter Meetings

FLASH!     PNW/ASI will vet an innovative “venue” for its biannual meeting,
                        a format referred to as In-Sync Indexing.

This format for the spring meeting is a new idea. Indexers will be meeting on the same date, and at the same time, but in their own geographical locations; so Seattlites meet somewhere in Seattle, Portlanders in Portland, Eastern Washingtonians somewhere central to them, Eugeniuses in or near Eugene, etc.

On April 10th, from 10am to 1pm, with all of us meeting in our prospective places ("at a location near you"), we will follow a preplanned script. There will be no need for conferencing. Every group will have a facilitator to manage activities and time and we will all be doing the same things at the same time—just in different places—synchronizing...or In Sync.

Each group will be provided a packet of materials to guide members through the planned discussions and activities. Whether a group of 16 or 2, the content of your meeting will be the same as other members of the chapter.

At the end of all the meetings, a recorder will post the group summaries and evaluations in order to create a collection for the entire chapter to review.

The Program Team is now recruiting a point person from each geographical area who would find a venue where indexers can meet. Some location ideas include a library, a quiet food court, or even someone’s own home. Below is a list of geographical areas we still need point people for. Would you be willing to help? 

Oregon locations
  * Eugene
  * Portland

Washington locations
  * Moscow/Pullman
  * TriCities
  * Seattle (Westside)
  * Seattle (Eastside) - Carolyn Weaver
  * Spokane - Tracy Wilson-Burns

British Columbia
  * Vancouver

Montana
  * Missoula

Indexers outside of the Pacific Northwest.
We invite you or any other and your colleagues to participate in the InSync Indexing program. All it takes is one other indexer and a place for you to meet. PNW will send you agenda materials for the meeting. If you know of other indexers who would like to meet for InSync Indexing and if you are willing to arrange a venue for your meeting, please contact us.

**All indexers, whether ASI members or not, are invited to participate.

More details are forthcoming via the PNW/ASI listserv.
