AIMS Officer Attendance

Some concern about attendance (and related communication about) of AIMS officers to meetings and events.

Majority of officers present (5) have voted that for the next meeting, AIMS officer attendance is mandatory. (Please communicate if there is an absolutely unavoidable conflict).

Brainstorming

Opportunities

  • Internship Partnership
  • Q&A
  • Resume “speed dating” (December Event?)
  • Introduce more professionalism
  • Cross-program pollination with MLIS & B-School
    • Perhaps meet with other sister organizations to do a “best practices” debrief.

Resolution

  • Be Direct in our communication (internal, external)
  • Increase iSchool front-office involvement
  • Increase transparent 2-way communication

Observations

  • Attendance to AIMS
  • Commitment to AIMS
  • Lack of professionalism (general body)

Goals

Long Term

    • Reach-out to iSchool alumni (via twitter and website) to update us about what they’re doing/done. Use website et al. to promote their work (maybe connect current students with similar interests).
