IG Renewal Margaret Kelly from Bylaws Committee explained the IG renewal process. Each interest group needs to be renewed every three years. Both chair and co-chair/chair-elect need to sign the E6 Interest Group Renewal Petition form. Basic criterion to qualify for renewal is to show the group is still active and functioning. Bylaws Committee sends out renewal reminders to those IGs that are due to renew. Midwinter meeting is usually the best time for renewal.
Discussion: IG Chairs Orientation TipsThe group reviewed the LITA Interest Group Chair Orientation Tips that Holly Yu drafted, and suggested some minor additions and a brief preamble to indicate basic functions of interest groups.
