Are you an experienced Midwinter attendee and willing to share your experience
and advice?
The LLAMA New Professionals Community of Practice Buddy Program is here to
pair Learning Buddies with Experienced Buddies in order to get the most out of
your conference experience.
Learning/New means whatever it means to them; they can be starting at a new
job or organization, trying out a different area of librarianship, or just
brand new to it all! If you’re at all experienced attending and being
actively engaged in Midwinter, please consider helping someone else navigate
the conference. We have 18 Learning Buddies this year!
Your commitment is to meet at least once with your Buddy at the Midwinter
conference. If you are interested in being an Experienced Buddy, please fill
out this form.

We’re trying a new matching process: we already have our Learning Buddies, and
there’s a handy list where you can choose the person you’d most be able to
help:

The list is anonymized and we’ll let you know who your Buddy is (and how to
reach them) in early January. To help us best match people, please choose
multiple buddies if you can; you’ll only be paired with the number of buddies
you indicate.
Anyone interested should complete the Experienced Buddy form by: January 6,
2020.
If you have any questions, please contact a member of the LLAMA New
Professional Buddy Program Committee: npsbuddy [at] gmail.com
We look forward to your participation in the Buddy Program!
