Hi IWG,
I wanted to post an updated from last week's meeting for those who were not able to make it. Our meeting was a little different from past meetings as we really wanted to hear from members of the group about what they value in the group and what they want out of the group.
Adam Neese, IWG Chair, opened the conversation with an overview of the group and results from a survey that we conducted earlier in the year. This helped to highlight some of what we have been working on and ground the conversation in what we could do moving forward.
We had some overarching questions to lead the discussion:
- What resources do you feel that you do not have access to? Or what resources do you have that could be beneficial to share?
- What issues are most interesting or topics that create confusion?
- What do you need to be successful with your job? What professional development opportunities would you like to see?
We had a really great conversation that ran for about 75 minutes, and we received some great feedback and good ideas. Attached are notes from the meeting for more specifics about the discussion.
If you were unable to attend and you would like to respond to the questions above, please feel free to post here in the IWG Community or to email AIC.ImagingWG@gmail.com. We would love to hear from you and continue this conversation!
Thank you!
Keats
