This is a call for LEADERS to establish a special interest group(S) 
(SIG) of chinese-text whithin Association of Chinese Professionals.

1. What is ACP?

ACP is a non-profit, non-political, independent and world wide Chinese 
professional organization. 

ACP was formally established on March 15, 1992. Only four months after 
the foundation, ACP has gained a lot attentions and has been exposed to 
enormous chances and opportunities. Now there are thousands of people 
connected together all over 7 countries. (U.S.A., Canada, Australia, 
England, France, Italy, and Israel) 

For more infomation on ACP, pls. send email to:

kliu@arri.uta.edu

2. Why do we want to establish a SIG of Chinese-text whithin ACP?

Communication in Chinese via networking has been gained huge interest 
among the whole Chinese society, including Chinese professionals.
While alt.chinese.text newsgroup is for all sorts of discussions, SIGs 
whithin ACP could be steered into some more specific directions.

3. Who will be qualified to be a leader of such SIG(s) ?

Anyone who is willing to volunteer to lead the SIG. (of course, it is
assumed that you know how to use Chinese.) BTW, all people working for ACP
are volunteers.

4. How to do it?

Please see the attached materials. If you have more questions, please
send emails to ACP Headquarter at :

acp-hq@confucius.pet.upenn.edu

-----------------------------------------------

If you have leadership but didn't have a chance to be a leader, 
Or if you want to meet people of your own interests...

                  Lead or Join a Special Interest Group
                  -------------------------------------

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) is one of the two basic organizational
structures of Association of Chinese Professionals (ACP). Another
one is Local Chapters(LCs). A SIG is a group of people who share some
special common interests to conduct any legal activities whithin the 
constitutional frame of ACP. Every member is eligible to set up a SIG. 
A SIG is considered to be formed only when a formal call for the formation 
is made either to all ACP members or to the general public AND a proposal 
for its function and purposes is filed with the Board of Directors. 

You don't have to be a politician or a VIP to be a leader. You don't 
have to deal with all the organizational nuisance to be an organizer. 
You don't have to be a computer expert or to be an owner of an email 
net without sweating and pounding. All the legal matters, communication 
setups, electronic network maintenace, accounting issues, database 
management are handled for you by experts of ACP in the respective areas. 
You'll be working right on what you want to do most. Your expertise, your
enthusiasm, and your ambition are the only things needed for setting up
a SIG whithin ACP.

To simplify the procedure of setting up a SIG, ACP's SIG coordinator will work
with you together. You even don't have to hand in your proposal at the first. 
Just email your ideas/suggestions/hopes, along with your questions, to the
ACP Headquarter at:

acp-hq@confucius.pet.upenn.edu


Please do remember that ACP is a non-political, non-profit, worldwide 
professional organization. We are strongly encourage you to set-up 
professional related AND/OR Chinese related SIG. Social SIGs (such as SIG
of your alumni, SIG of chess, etc.) are also very welcome. We do allow 
similar SIGs to coexist to encourage competition. This gives leaders 
the unlimited opportunity to employ their full capability. 

By volunteering leadership in a certain SIG will not only fulfill your 
dreams, but also benefit your fellow Chinese with the same interests.
Of course, we know, not everyone is a leader of a SIG. Even you don't feel
like to take a leading position in a SIG, you can still enjoy the dis-
cussions, information, and cooperations among the people with the same 
interests as yours. Just send your request to the ACP Headquarter at:

acp-hq@confucius.pet.upenn.edu

of ACP: (March 15, 1992)

SIG-business acdemic
SIG-physics
