Moving GODORT Forward: all hands on deck

  • 1.  Moving GODORT Forward: all hands on deck

    Posted Dec 23, 2013 09:25 PM

    Because the Depository Library Conference was cancelled in October, and because ALA has radically shifted our ballot deadlines from previous years, we do not have the luxury of face to face conversations with all of you as we recruit you to run for offices and keep our vibrant, essential association out in front of the issues.

    Please, we need your help, most especially in finding our Chair Elect, International Docs Task Force Coordinator (1 yr) *and* Coordinator-Elect (2 yrs), State Docs Coordinator (2 yrs), and new members for 3 committees: Awards, Bylaws & Organization, and Nominating. Register yourself on our ballot by the end of the day on Friday, January 3rd -- use ALA's online form at https://www.alavote.org/nomination/2014users.html

    Select the second option (Divisions/Sections/Round Tables) and then number 64 GODORT. The form takes you through many steps, so hang in there until the end.

    Thanks again for your willingness to serve,
