    The GODORT Buddy program was created to provide a personal introduction to the Government Documents Round Table. New and prospective GODORT members, as well as members becoming active for the first time or after a long absence are encouraged to request a GODORT Buddy.


    We also need GODORT members to VOLUNTEER TO BE A BUDDY!


    Share your knowledge and be a welcoming face for GODORT. Learn more about being a buddy; see the description on the Membership Committee wiki.


    Other Details:


    The Buddy pairing is for just one conference, so requires a low level of commitment, but means you’ll have an active GODORT member to answer all your questions and introduce you to other members at the GODORT Happy Hour & other events. You'll also receive a packet of information and GODORT goodies at the Happy Hour!



    • Sign up deadline: Friday January 17, 2014

    • Buddy pairing notification: Tuesday, January 21, 2014
