    Attending ALA Annual in Chicago? Interested in government information librarianship? Want to know more about what we do in GODORT? Get a Buddy! Sign up NOW!


    The GODORT Buddy program matches new conference attendees or anyone new to GODORT with an experienced GODORT mentor. Meeting up at GODORT 101 & the GODORT Happy Hour, the Buddies get to make new connections and receive a packet of info about GODORT and tips on having a successful conference. 


    We also need GODORT members to VOLUNTEER TO BE A BUDDY!


    Share your knowledge and be a welcoming face for GODORT. Learn more about being a buddy; see the description on the GODORT wiki (http://wikis.ala.org/godort/index.php/GODORT_%22Buddy%22_Program).


    Other Details:


    The Buddy pairing is for just one conference, so requires a low level of commitment, but means you’ll have an active GODORT member to answer all your questions and introduce you to other members at GODORT 101, the Happy Hour & other events. You'll also receive a packet of information and GODORT goodies!


    Questions?? Please don't hesitate to contact me (Rebecca Hyde, rhyde1@slu.edu) or another member of the GODORT Membership Committee.
