Origin

The GLBT Round Table Executive Board began at the close of the 2012 ALA Annual Conference.  During the 2011 ALA election, GLBTRT members adopted bylaws created by the GLBTRT Bylaws & Procedure Manual Ad hoc Committee.  The new language specified a board would become the governing body of the organization, replacing the steering committee.  Amendments to the pre-2011 election bylaws are captured in "Revised 2011 Election" at the bottom of the bylaws page.  Prior to the board, the round table was lead by the GLBTRT Steering Committee.  The committee consisted of elected officers (co-chairs of differing gender identities, treasurer, and secretary) and committee chairs.  The new bylaws took effect at the close of 2011 Annual Conference.  Exceptions to the new bylaws were made in the 2011 Revised Bylaws Implementation Roadmap, which was adopted at the 2011 Membership Meeting.  During that period, the committee consisted of the: chair, chair-elect, immediate past-chair, secretary, treasurer, councilor, and standing committee chairs.  At the close of the 2012 ALA Annual Conference, the steering committee was dissolved, and the GLBTRT Executive Board formed.
