2007 Annual Meeting Highlights
COMMITTEE: RSS 2008 Nominating Committee
SECTION: RSS
CHAIRPERSON: Gale Etschmaier
DATES: June 23, 2007
EMAIL: gale@gwu.edu
MEMBERS PRESENT: :Gale Etschmaier, Nancy Huling, Brett Lear
MEMBERS ABSENT: None
VISITORS: Visitors:None
OBJECTIVES: The objective for this committee is to recruit RSS members for
the 2008 ballot. The committee is responsible for selecting 2 nominees for each
of three RSS positions: Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect, Member-at-Large, Secretary.
SUMMARY: Members conferred about additional RSS members we should approach
to be nominees.
EVALUATION: The committee has successfully recruited four nominees and identified
possible names to approach additional nominees. The committee has been very
successful because members have been active in RSS and are familiar with active
RSS members.
PROBLEMS: Several members declined nomination. We wondered if this is due to
library travel funding and reluctance to commit to travel to both ALA meetings.
This was a transitional year with the departure of Cathleen Bourdon and it was
more challenging to obtain the documents (member roster, ballot instructions,
etc.) than in the past. Lisa Horowitz was, however, very helpful and we were
able to obtain this information with her assistance.
RECOMMENDATIONS: It would be useful to have one of this year’s members
continue on the committee as chair.
