    MAGIRT needs YOU! 

    There are candidate slates we need to fill for the upcoming ALA election. We need candidates for:

    Vice-Treasurer/Treasurer-Elect - works with the treasurer to learn the job for one year, then serve as treasurer, then work with the vice-treasurer to train them so this is a 3-year commitment

    Secretary - takes the minutes of the executive board meetings and the annual general membership meeting

    Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect - serves as vice-chair for one year, serves as chair for one year, and serves as past-chair for one year so this is a 3 year commitment.

    Many of us who have served in these roles are willing to help with any questions or concerns. 

    Serving as an officer in MAGIRT is a good way to gain experience working with other map and geospatial librarians and library workers around the country. Please consider nominating yourself or a colleague to run for these important positions. 

    If you have any questions, please contact Susan Moore at susan.moore@uni.edu. I have held all three positions and can tell you what they're like.

    Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.
