Leadership & Learning Opportunity [virtual meeting coordinator] GODORT

  • 1.  Leadership & Learning Opportunity [virtual meeting coordinator] GODORT

    Posted Jun 20, 2016 09:24 AM

    GODORT is committed to enhancing its virtual presence and participation of its members.  We have recently coordinated with ALA to purchase a subscription to AdobeConnect a virtual meeting software platform.


    Our leadership recognizes the importance of training its members to conduct virtual meetings as well as providing support particularly for members who are new to leading in this type of format.


    We are looking for an individual(s) who is/are willing to learn how to train and provide support for our members.  You will be working with GODORT's past-chair for the 2016-2107 cycle.  So if you are willing to learn while you lead then don't be intimidated by your lack of experience.
