Hello folks and NMRT Members:

Are you looking for a way to be more involved in the library profession? 
Being an NMRT Liaison is a fantastic opportunity if you are an NMRT 
member and a member of another library organization. NMRT liaisons play 
a key role in increasing awareness of information and ideas of mutual 
interest to NMRT and liaison unit members with a minimal time 
commitment. Liaison responsibilities are listed below. We have many 
spots left to fill, so if you see your organization on the list below, 
please consider volunteering! If you are interested in getting involved, 
please fill out the volunteer form:

You can volunteer for more than one and will be assigned to no more than 
three units. Your assignment will be for one year, beginning at the 
close of ALA's Annual conference through Annual Conference 2012.  
Conference attendance is not required.




Major Liaison Responsibilities
NMRT-L and unit communication tools (listservs, blogs, wikis, ALA 
Connect,etc.) as well as conference attendance are appropriate ways to 
carry out these responsibilities.

The responsibilities of the liaisons are to:
1. Join appropriate listservs, including NMRT-L. Monitor publications of 
the liaison unit.
2. Submit committee meeting dates and program information for their 
liaison unit. Request inclusion in the distribution of agenda and 
minutes for the unit. Publicize information concerning the unit 
including relevant program invitations, announcements and other information.
3. Keep their units informed of NMRT activities that would be of 
interest, such as the programs sponsored by the Student and Student 
Chapter Outreach Committee, the Student Reception, Mentoring, etc.
4. Invite unit representatives to attend functions including Orientation 
and the Student Reception.
5. Report on discussions, policies, and action of their units that are 
relevant to NMRT. Obtain minutes, if possible, and summarize relevant 
sections.
6. Report on discussions, policies, and actions of NMRT that are 
relevant to their unit.
7. Identify and alert NMRT of unit programs which NMRT may wish to 
co-sponsor, either from unit breakout sessions, listservs or other means.
