<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Dear Chapter Delegates, <div><br></div><div>Following a suggestion that we make the Chapter Handbook files more easily accessible, we now have an .odt version (plus accompanying PDFs) of each section available at <a href="http://wiki.chapters.isoc.org/tiki-index.php?page=Chapter+Handbook&bl=n&saved_msg=y">http://wiki.chapters.isoc.org/tiki-index.php?page=Chapter+Handbook&bl=n&saved_msg=y</a>. They are formatted using font Arial. </div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks for all of your input thus far. We look forward to many more comments by the end of this week. Following that, we will finalize the files and have them reposted for your use. We are working on a highly dynamic Web version of the handbook as well as more refined versions of the WP and PDF files. We expect to have translations available in about a month. </div><div><br></div><div>Please remember that the Chapter Handbook is a work in progress. Your experiences, tips, suggestions, and advice for other Chapter leaders are always welcome, particularly when it comes to areas such as fundraising, membership growth and retention, marketing, communications (including use of social media and Web development), and leadership succession. We hope you will keep that in mind, not only as you review the drafts but as you continue to develop your Chapter. </div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks for all of your help!</div><div><br></div><div>Wendy Rickard<br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div><div>The Rickard Group, Inc.</div><div>intelligent marketing and publishing solutions</div><div>5 Snowden Rd. ~ Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004</div><div>Phone: 609-466-1700 ~ Fax: 610-410-2749</div><div>Skype: wrrickard</div><div><a href="mailto:rickard@rickardgroup.com">rickard@rickardgroup.com</a></div><div><a href="http://www.rickardgroup.com">http://www.rickardgroup.com</a></div><div>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div></div></div></span></div></span></div></span> </div><br></div></body></html>
