**2006 - 2007 Project Description / Goals: 

The committee will be active in assisting with the following projects:

 

  1. Planning the Annual NMRT President's Program for the ALA conference in 2008.  The plan is to create an online leadership institute that will take place during 2007-2008, with the Annual Program in June 2008 as the culminating event.  The online sessions will be free to all NMRT members who wish to participate.  The committee will assist with finding funding for bringing speakers to the Annual Program.
  2. Developing a strategic plan for NMRT with the use of a facilitator.  The committee will look at how other ALA committees created their strategic plans, and ask for advice.  The committee will also research various types of strategic plans, and determine the best plan of action for the NMRT plan.
  3. Assisting in processing the suggestions from a future ad hoc Marketing Task Force.  The committee will integrate the task force's suggestions for marketing to NMRT's target population groups, and incorporate this into the strategic plan.
  4. Additionally, the committee may develop blogs and wikis, with the assistance of the NMRT Web Committee, when/if the ALA upgrades their Web site's content management system.
  5. Assisting with any future ideas and work the Vice President needs.
