Greetings!
The Round Table is looking for volunteers to be the GLBTRT representatives to the following groups. Please email me at jen@jenw.net if you are interested in this opportunity. Let me know what you are interested in, your involvement in those groups, and resume, if relevant.
| Groups: |
| American Association of School Librarians (AASL) |
| Association of Library Service to Children (ALSC) |
| Freedom to Read Foundation (FTRF)* |

| New Members Round Table (NMRT) |
| Public Library Association (PLA) |
| Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRST) |
| Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) |
*Please note that the Freedom to Read Foundation and Legislation Assembly both require Midwinter and Annual attendance.
The representative:
- serves a one or two year term;
- in many cases, will serve as the representative to both the GLBTRT and the other group;
- monitors both group’s email lists, newsletters, blogs, and social media for meetings, invitations, announcements, events, and programs;
- attends necessary meetings at Midwinter and Annual of both groups;
- relays information back and forth between both groups’ email lists;
- gathers feedback from GLBTRT membership and/or board when needed using the membership email list;
