  • 1.  February Board Meeting

    Posted 7 days ago

    Hello, all! Please join me for our board meeting next Thursday, where we'll hear from our candidates for open board positions! We still need more volunteers, so feel free to spread the word; if anyone would like to nominate themselves as a write-in candidate, particularly for GameRT Councilor or GameRT Secretary, please let me know and I'll add your name to the agenda.

    If you are a committee (co)chair and have agenda items you anticipate may take a good chunk of time to discuss, please let me know and I will add them to the agenda to ensure we have enough time dedicated to everyone.

     
    See you there!

    I'm making it a point to squeeze more out of my ALA membership. I see that GenCon is on the docket, I've been hoping to attend this year (especially for the tradeshow.) Are we planning anything?

    Bryan,

     

    I believe that is just on the agenda as a standing item. Members have gone to GenCon (including myself) but GameRT hasn't done anything official yet. If you are on the Discord you can see my time in pictures in the conferences channel (or are they threads) labeled Platy @ GenCon 2025.
