HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE 7/9/09 INSOURCE BOARD MEETING

This meeting of the InSource Board of Directors held on July 9, 2009, reflects increased activity going on at the board level.

Findings from the InSource Member Survey conducted in June 2009 (with a 46% response rate) were carefully considered and discussed. Guided by the responses of current InSource members to this member survey, decisions were made to revamp the approach to organizing programs that best serve the needs and interests of InSource members. For example, a proposal to organize regionalized events – which involves recruiting champions to facilitate an event in various easy-access locations on the same topic that focuses on stimulating idea sharing among participants (rather than a structured panel discussion) – is now under development. Webinars on relevant topics that allow participation of all InSource members are now being organized. Furthermore, plans for establishing InSource as a career resource for people in the in-house corporate creative world (going beyond previous notions about providing a job board with specific job postings) are now underway. More details will be communicated to members in the near future.

It was reported that new members have recently joined InSource, including creative professionals “in transition” who are responding to the new “member stimulus plan” now posted at the InSource Web site (click on the “Join” button for details on membership options). Members are encouraged to spread the word to others, inviting them to join InSource.

The InSource leadership thanks all InSource members who participated in the June 2009 Member Survey. InSource members interested in opportunities for increased involvement in the work of InSource are encouraged to contact andre@in-source.org.
