Dear ETKN
Members-
This e-mail is to
update you on preparations I am making for the upcoming AASHTO RAC meeting in
Portland, ME, which I will be attending in a couple weeks.
I will be
representing ETKN at RAC at meeting of an AASHTO Task Force, in Portland, ME,
July 14-17 and I look forward to sharing with you what goes on in our next ETKN
conference call on the 24th of July. Several other members of ETKN may be
there too, I believe, including Barbara Post (TRB) and Sandy Brady (LTRC)...and
perhaps others...so they can update you too.
As an FYI I am
attaching a memo from Wes Lum (chair of RAC) to this e-mail to keep you up to
date on why this task force was formed.
An important
"opportunity" at RAC overall is a chance to promote the ETKN, and possibly gain
new awareness of our mission and even new members. To this end, the
coordinators of the Pooled Fund Study for Library Connectivity invited us to
give them ETKN marketing materials for a booth they are setting
up. Specifically: a logo, a brochure, and a Web site.
Thanks to fast
action and some volunteers, we are developing those items at record
speed!
Kathy Martin from
FHWA has volunteered to work on a brochure, which we
will submit for your comments soon. We can tinker with this
up to close of business July 11th. Thank you
Kathy!
Sandy Brady will be
working on the Web site, which we'll also run by you soon. We can
tinker with that up to July 11th. For now, we just need to get
something online. Thank you Sandy!
Finally, and most importantly, Eileen Gallager from the Delaware
Valley Regional Planning Commission, has secured a talented artist there to help
us design a logo. Today the artist sent a contact sheet
with multiple logos "ideas" on it. In the interest of time, I asked her to
use a popular color palate. I am attaching her sketches as a
pdf.
I need you to look at the attached pdf file and
vote for a logo design for her to proceed with toward a "finished
product." These are only sketches. She will need time to draft
one...then we will use that to build our brochure and Web site around.
I see a lot of great design elements
here, however, I took the
liberty of labeling what I believe are the top 4 designs that will work as
logos and banner art for these specific needs.
I'll start the voting process. I vote for
#3!
Please get your vote
to me by close of business next Monday the 30th. Please send your response
to me directly at:
I apologize that we
have to rush this, but time is of the essence, and due to the late nature of the
invitation to promote this way, we weren't given much lead time.
The brochure and web
site will come after the logo, so please vote ASAP!
Thank
you.
P.S. My hope is to
have a logo that will last at least 5 years. However, if there are strong
feelings about a logo redesign after this RAC meeting is over, we can do
that...
Ken Winter, MLIS
