AIS Announces:
AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (AIS THCI)
We are delighted to welcome the first issue of the AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (AIS THCI), sponsored by AIS SIGHCI. The credit for launching AIS Transactions series should go to the leadership of AIS SIGHCI who proposed that AIS begin publishing Transactions journals such as those by ACM and IEEE. The co-editors (Dennis Galletta and Ping Zhang) started preparing their proposal for THCI in late 2007 and gained approval through a Council vote in June 2008.

 Meet the new CAIS Editor
Ilze Zigurs, University of Nebraska CAIS Editor-in-Chief
I am happy to have this opportunity to say a few words to the AIS community from the vantage point of my new role as Editor-in-Chief of the Communications of the Association for Information Systems. First, let us all thank Joey George for his leadership as EIC these last three years - he has seen the journal through significant change and growth, and his contribution has enriched our community. Joey reflected on his three years as EIC in his December 2008 editorial (Vol. 23, Article 36). I hope you will read that editorial - it provides a great picture of how the journal has changed while remaining true to its vision, which started with founding EIC Paul Gray: "to foster the free flow of ideas within the IS community, emphasizing originality, importance, and cogency of ideas." It is both humbling and exciting to contribute to the on-going life of this significant community resource.

Regionally Speaking: by Marco de Marco and

Region 2 Representatives Diversity through Regional Chapter Growth!
To embrace this diversity, we, as Region 2 representatives, strongly encourage the ongoing trend to set up local AIS chapters. As we see it, this expansion fosters the growth and diversity of our discipline. It also helps nurturing a sense of community among IS scholars and practitioners throughout the globe. Liechtenstein is a good example of how to set up a chapter quickly and enable our community to attract a group of excellent scientists (for instance, 6 papers by Liechtenstein scholars were accepted for ECIS 2009). Tunisia could be the next chapter and we are working on that.

 President's Message
The Quarterly Council Meeting
As you may know, we now have a Council meeting every three months. In early March we had another virtual meeting joining together colleagues in all three regions. The ecological and cost advantages made up for the inconvenient times for some. We discussed many issues including ways to improve our financial position, forthcoming conferences, the forthcoming AIS elections, further expansion of our e-library and publications, and so much more.
