By Helen Josephine, President, San Andreas Chapter
Over the past few years our chapter membership has declined. Think about recruiting a colleague or recent graduate, and remind them to join the San Andreas Chapter. I was talking with a new member recently and he mentioned that he had joined the San Francisco Chapter thinking that was the only chapter in the area. WRONG! Perhaps it is time to consider changing the name of the Chapter to better reflect our geographic location. As a tagline to our blog we have added a phrase that indicates our membership includes information professionals from Silicon Valley, Santa Cruz and Monterey. I would like to hear your comments and thoughts about changing the name of the Chapter from San Andreas Chapter to Silicon Valley Chapter. I will be investigating the mechanics of this process, but I want to hear your comments and concerns.

Go for it! I would love a Chapter name that is easily understood geographically, so to speak. I've had many people ask what San Andreas refers to, whereas I believe most people have a geographical concept of Silicon Valley.

I think Silicon Valley Chapter is a great idea. I really think San Andreas Chapter is not a clear chapter name. After all, the fault runs 800 miles or so. I would support this change.
