The Residency Interest Group provides opportunities for residents, residency coordinators and other interested parties to network, share their expertise and promote residency librarian programs.  The group maintains a website (http://acrl.ala.org/residency ) that acts as a clearinghouse for information about residency programs.  RIG also supports the professional development of residents through a variety of resources.

Sec 2. Terms of Office. Officers serve for three years:  the first year as incoming convener, the second year as convener and the third year as past convener.  In the occurrence of a vacancy, the incoming convener becomes convener. 

Sec.3 .  The convener appoints the newest incoming convener with input from the other conveners and the group as a whole.

The Residency Interest Group shall conduct a review of the group every three years, beginning in FY 2011,  to prepare a recommendation for the ACRL Board of Directors.   During this review, the conveners will evaluate the current charge, procedures, working groups, membership statistics, and the group’s success in achieving its goals.  After the review process, the conveners will decide whether they think the group should continue.
