NMRT Board Member Progress Report

1. Office Name:  Member Services Director

2. Office Term (Date: Ex. 2005-2006):  2005-2006

3. What kind of interaction have you had with your committees thus far this year? What support have you been able to provide them?

The bulk of my contact has been through email and some discussion at the Midwinter All Committees meeting.  I've answered questions and facilitated communication amongst committees.

4. What would you still like to accomplish in your office before the end of your term?

I want to help the Mentoring Committee submit a proposal to fund modest refreshments (such as coffee and cookies) at their mentoring gatherings at conferences. 

I'd like to have the Resume Review web pages all transferred to the ALA server, except for the schedule, which needs to remain under RR committee control.  

Although the proposal to move the responsibility for the print issue of Footnotes to the Scholarship, Writing and Research Committee won't affect this year's work, it certainly will have a major impact in the future that we need to plan for.  I'd like to get that well under way, including a draft of the revised committee charges.
