  • 1.  UAIG Incoming Convener 2023-24

    Posted Feb 23, 2023 01:09 PM

    Hello UAIG members!

    It's time to start thinking about your UAIG leadership for next year!  By May 1, Anaya and I need to submit a member to ACRL to let them know who will serve as incoming convener for your interest group next year (July 1, 2023– June 30, 2024).   We are happy to answer any questions if you might be interested but are not 100% sure etc. It is not a large time commitment and we hope to keep the group going as long as folx find it useful.

    New incoming conveners will be signing up to serve as incoming convener (2023-20234) and convener (2024-2025) and past convener (2025-2026) with one appointment form.  Appointment forms are due May 1, in order to allow them to attend the online orientation for new interest group leaders in May. 

    Feel free to reach out here in Connect or by email.

    Our best,

    Trisha & Anaya

    Hello UAIG!

    Sending out the call again for anyone that is interested in being the next incoming convener for this group. You would be working together with Anaya for the 23-24 year, while being supported by myself as the outgoing convener. Please let us know if anyone would like more information or is willing to serve.

    My best,

    Trisha
