**Activity in Current Reporting Period 

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

The NMRT Orientation Committee presented a well-received program at Midwinter. Only 51 people attended the meeting, but there was a record number of representatives from ALA organizations who came to talk about them with those who were interested. Only 11 evaluations were turned in. These had mainly very positive feedback and four checked that they were interested in joining NMRT.

 

Thanks to the Web Committee for updating the website to include the committee’s new members and information about the Midwinter program.

 

b)      Projects in progress but not yet completed:

We will soon begin to work on the items below.
