The National Federation of Advanced Information Services (NFAIS) and ASIDIC (formerly the Association of Information and Dissemination Centers - www.asidic.org), today jointly announced the assimilation of ASIDIC members into the NFAIS Community as a result of the dissolution of ASIDIC on June 30, 2010. the agreement will provide ASIDIC members in good standing with all NFAIS member benefits through June 30, 2011, after which they will have the option to continue their NFAIS membership through a three-year transition period. Any ASIDIC assets remaining after the merger will be used as requested by the ASIDIC Board and that is to attract conference speakers to NFAIS events that are in keeping with the mission and spirit of ASIDIC. In addition, a member of an ASIDIC Member organization will be invited to serve as a non-voting NFAIS Board member from the close of the merger through June 30, 2011 in order to assist the NFAIS Board in a successful membership transition and to ensure the preservation of the ASIDIC spirit and mission within NFAIS.
