July GameRT Board Meeting CANCELLED

  • 1.  July GameRT Board Meeting CANCELLED

    Posted an hour ago

    Hello, GameRT colleagues!

    I wanted to share that yesterday at our monthly board meeting we collectively agreed to CANCEL our July GameRT Board meeting (originally planned to be held on July 9th) due to it being so close after ALA Annual, where we will already be meeting. It will be a good chance to decompress!

    We will instead be meeting for the first GameRT Board meeting of the 2026-2027 cycle on Thursday, August 13th. Make sure to update your calendars. Let me know if you have any questions!

    If you've volunteered to serve on one of our committees for the 2026-2027 cycle, keep an eye out for communications from Committee Chairs between now and the August board meeting.

    Thanks everyone!

    ~Chris Baker, 2026-2027 GameRT President
