**Type of report being submitted: Committee Planning Report

**Date: Oct 16, 2006

**Committee Name: SASCO

**Supervising Board Member: Samantha Hines

**Chair, Co-Chairs, Assistant Chairs: Larissa Gordon & Amy Harris

**Committee members: Terry Buckner, Sue Anderson, Amelia Gibson, Amanda Ros, John Siegel, William Gee, Genny Carter

**Committee Charge: The Student and Student Chapter Outreach Committee is charged with the task of developing and maintaining a network of individuals able to promote ALA and NMRT, to work with other NMRT and ALA recruitment efforts, to help keep student members informed of various NMRT activities, awards and scholarships, and to review/evaluate NMRT's student recruitment efforts.

**2006 - 2007 Project Description / Goals:

1. Contact schools successfully and continue to forward them information throughout the year
2. Create and maintain a SASCO Web space
3. Update SASCO Handbook entry (end of year goal)
4. Compare ALA & SASCO’s student outreach efforts with efforts of other organizations to find new ways to help students.
5. Examine the work that ALA’s Student Chapter Liaison office is doing. Compare our efforts with theirs to make sure we are not duplicating efforts. Consider forming a partnership with that office to more effectively communicate and help students.

**Specific Objectives (numbers, tangible end-products):

Goal 1

-100 percent contact rate

-hold speaking engagements where possible or arrange engagements for chapters

-approach other NMRT committees to see what publicity they would like (e.g. SCOTYA, student meeting at ALA annual, Social at Annual, other NMRT events at Annual)

Goal 2

-create a workable website with information (SASCO e-mail address, info about SASCO, links to ALA school chapter liaison page/ placing a link to SASCO on their website, articles giving advice.)

Goal 3

- this update should reflect what we decide to do in Goal 5

Goal 4

- create a document comparing our organization which notes activities that other groups do that we don’t and suggestions of other ways SASCO can help students.

Goal 5

-contact and continue discussion with ALA staff liaison with student chapters.

-create an updated handbook to reflect operating changes
