    GameRT has some empty seats on our Board that need to be filled. We need people to volunteer to run for the following positions:


    President
    The President will serve one year as President and a second year as Past-President. The President is the Chief Officer of the Round Table.


    Vice-President
    The Vice-President serves the first year after election as Vice-President, the second year as President, and third year as Past-President. This position performs duties as assigned and chairs the Long Range and Strategic Planning Committee.


    Board of Directors (three open positions)
    The Directors serve a 2 year term on the Board. The Board includes the President, Vice-President, Past President, Secretary, Treasurer and 6 directors. This group has approval over the affairs of the Round Table.


    These are all active positions. If you are interested in seeing the type of work required, please look at the GameRT minutes. We have two people willing to run for President and Vice-President, but none so far for the Board of Director positions. If you wish to run, please fill out the nomination form with your biographical information no later than January 24th. Feel free to contact me, or any board member, if you have any questions.


    Thanks,
    Diane Robson
    GameRT President

    Howdy,

     

    I was just wondering if there was a requirement of attendance at Annual or Midwinter for any of the positions. I have pretty limited travel money and frankly I generally see more benefit from the not just librarians conferences than the librarian focused ones, so I would rather spend my money there.

     

    Thanks,

    Teresa

    It isn't a strict requirement for the Board of Directors. If you are running for President or Vice-President,  it would be beneficial to the group for you to be able to attend either Midwinter or Annual to represent GameRT. We need at least one GameRT board member at each conference to represent the roundtable at meetings, introduce speakers, etc.

    We hold most of our meetings online.
