EDITOR'S SUMMARY From focus groups and other member input opportunities at the 2014 Annual Meeting in Seattle, several themes emerged for organizational goals and priorities. Seeing ASIS&T as a professional home, members appreciate opportunities for recognition and development and look for stronger links between theory and practice. Commenters approve of the association's international scope, and many note the value of expanding strategic alliances with other information‐oriented organizations, the desire to network outside the Annual Meeting and build regional chapters and the need to improve internal communications. The Strategic Planning Task Force will continue collecting and analyzing data and, drawing on feedback, draft and finalize a strategic plan for the Association's long‐term success.
