2.
Volunteers for Communications Officer/new tasks for volunteers:
Five
people have come forward as volunteers to fill the unexpired term of the ARLD
Communications officer. A discussion
ensued of how to make use of these five folks.
One suggestion was to have the communications officer be a shared
position, with one person concentrating on the ARLD Web page, while the other
does more with direct communication. Other
volunteers are needed to help organize instructional dialogues, possibly work to
plan an @your library presentation, etc. Julie
will present a set of options to the five volunteers, and solicit their
preferences. Then she will get back
to the Board with their responses.
