[Gilmont, Susan]

Please consider nominating yourself or someone else (with their express permission) for a position on the Oregon Library Association / Support Staff Division Board. The election is in July at the SSD annual conference. You may be asking, "Why am I sending out a call for nominations so early?" This will provide you time to get approval from your supervisor or manager. The positions are:

*       Chair-Elect - 1 year term, acts as Chair the following 1 year term, acts as Past Chair for a 1 year term
*       Recorder - 1 year term

        PURPOSE
        The purpose of the Support Staff Division shall be to provide a framework for information sharing, continuing education and moral support for all library support staff. Specifically, the aims are to provide a forum to encourage new ideas, discuss concerns and solve problems; promote awareness of library issues; inspire and promote professional growth through networking, conferences, workshops and mentoring; exchange ideas on processes, systems, and policies; provide a medium for the exploration of new ideas and technologies; foster cooperation among all Oregon libraries in all the various public and technical areas throughout the library; and to increase awareness in the library community of the evolving roles played by support staff.
