New Chair for 2019/2020

• There was a call for nomination or volunteer(s) for the role of new chair for 2019-2020.
  • This can be a team of 2 co-chairs.
• Some reasons to volunteer for chair:
  • If you are interested in working in social media, there is much opportunity to work in this area.
  • If you currently work in Digital Collections at your institution, you can have some additional help from the committee.
  • If you are tenure-track at your institution, serving as a chair on CARLI committee looks great for your portfolio.
  • CARLI staff also supports the chair (Amy Maroso and Elizabeth Clarage serve as liaisons to CARLI).
  • The resource sharing and active volunteering on the committee is invaluable to CARLI.
• If interested or have questions, contact Matt and/or can discuss further at next meeting.
