[Chapter-delegates] Chapter Handbook available

[Anne Lord]

Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to let you know that the Chapter Handbook is now  
complete!  Sincere thanks to all of you who helped with this work, in  
particular, the chapter officers who contributed content and the  
chapter handbook committee for their ongoing editorial review.   
Translations into French and Spanish are underway and will be  
completed very soon (hopefully in a week's time).

The handbook is available in sections (as well as one document) for  
download at :

http://www.isoc.org/isoc/chapters/guidelines/

It will be available in html as soon as the new ISOC website is  
launched (estimated to be June).   Hard copy will also be  
available.    The handbook is a "living" document with updates  
provided by Chapter delegates which will be collected and consolidated  
periodically. Please send any updates to <chapter-support at isoc.org>.

This year, with help from Chapters, we plan to develop more resources  
to assist Chapters in the work of creating and sustaining a vibrant  
Chapter. We will be producing three "Toolkits". The  "toolkits"  will  
provide detailed step-by-step 'how to' guides on specific topics.   To  
produce the "toolkits",  we are dependent on your help once again,  
both for contributing content and for editorial review.  If you would  
like to help us in this task, please send email to <chapter-support at isoc.org 
 >.

Thank you once again for all your help with this project.

Best wishes,
Anne
