SURVEY ANNOUNCEMENT:
FIRST VOICE is an AIC newsletter scheduled for publication every quarter. Due to staffing and costly limitations the newsletter did not get printed for the last quarter. The AIC Membership committee would like to propose a new initiative. We would like to offer an electronic version of FIRST VOICE to the AIC members. To that end, we need to hear from you about receiving FIRST VOICE online. Please let us know by sending back one of the following statements. Send your response to rhodge@uic.edu We need to hear from the majority of our members in order to make a proper decision, what do you want.
Other comments or suggestions welcome.
YES, I want to get FIRST VOICE electronically.
NO, I do not have access to a computer.
