The Balance Wheel: Winter 2003

What’s New About The Balance Wheel?

The Balance Wheel is a newsletter by communicators for communicators, and that’s exactly what we want it to continue to be. To ensure every issue is packed with news you need to know and skills we can all improve, a subcommittee has been created – as mentioned in the President’s Message - to help the new editor, Michelle Griffin, identify the best stories and resources for each issue. This subcommittee will meet every quarter within one week of the content deadline. Michelle will compile story ideas she has received from YOU – our ACI members – and present them to the committee. Committee members will offer guidance and help prioritize stories for each issue.

Following this meeting, Michelle will contact ACI members to solicit specific stories. You will find in this issue that two of the articles were inspired by questions posed on the ACI listserv. We hope this will continue to be a source of ideas for future issues.

Once all stories are received, Michelle will edit and compile the issue and work with Nancy Herron to post the newsletter online. Each ACI member will receive an e-mail announcing the newsletter’s presence on the Web and a direct link to get there fast!

Please keep in mind these dates for 2003:

Deadline for Spring Issue: March 1
Posting of Spring issue: March 15
Deadline for Summer Issue: May 1
Posting of Summer Issue: June 15
Deadline for Fall Issue: Aug 1
Posting of Fall Issue: Sept. 15

Subcommittee members include: Scott Ball, Dave Rice, Nancy Herron, Scott Pengelly and Joan Guilfoyle. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the committee members or Michelle Griffin directly. Thank you, and we hope you enjoy the new Balance Wheel process!
