IISE recognizes 2019 professional chapter newsletters
The chapter newsletter is often the main line of internal communication for the chapter. When you consider that many members do not attend every chapter meeting, then a newsletter becomes the only form of communication with these members over extended periods of time.
A good newsletter uses eye-catching graphics, provides up-to-date information, and includes content that is entertaining. It keeps members informed on what is going on in the chapter. A good newsletter educates members about issues and ideas of interest and builds cohesion and a sense of pride among members. Creating a good newsletter takes a lot of time and eff
ort!
IISE is proud to recognize these exceptional professional chapter newsletters and the hard work of the editors.
