Consequently, I am looking for people willing to serve as liaisons between the FDTF and GODORT standing committees for 2015. Duties are not difficult: primarily serving to provide brief updates at the Midwinter Meeting and the Annual Conference on GODORT committee activities and the FDTF and vice-versa.
I will list the needed committee liaison positions below. If interested, please contact me ASAP at dodgeti@auburn.edu . Current committee chairs are encouraged to serve again if they wish, so please let me know if you are interested.

Many thanks to those who volunteer (or re-volunteer). I would suggest listing SEVERAL committee liaison choices just in case your first choice finds a volunteer before you contact me.
