**Activity in Current Reporting Period 

a)      Projects completed (For example, any procedures, tip sheets, checklists, etc. created during this period):

 

            In Fall 2003, Booth submitted for NMRT Board consideration a change to our committee charge, deleting from the charge reference to a traveling booth.  The NMRT Board approved this change in December 2003. 

 

            Booth Committee met at Midwinter Conference in San Diego to plan for the booth at ALA Orlando.  Seven of the 10 Booth Committee members attended the meeting, held during All-Committee on Saturday, January 10.   During the meeting, plans were made for the booth, and specific activities were assigned to committee members.

 

            Our web liaison, working with one of our co-chairpersons, has revised the Booth Committee website.  The site is now live.

           

 

b)      Projects in progress but not yet completed:

 

            A Booth goal for 2003-2004 is revision of the Booth entry in the NMRT Handbook.  The revision will include revision of the committee charge (to delete reference to the traveling booth) and the addition of a committee history statement.  This initiative is ongoing at this time. 

 

            The primary project of the Booth Committee is sponsorship of the NMRT exhibit at Annual Conference.  Preparations for the exhibit are underway at this time.

 

 

**Action Items/Issues To Be Resolved (What is left to do, based on your Planning Report?
Have there been any substantial changes in plans since then? What items, if any, have been deferred until next year?):

 

            No changes are needed to our annual plan, nor have items in the plan been deferred.   The principal activity yet to be completed is preparation for the Annual Conference NMRT exhibit.
