<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Involvement in SDLAC will include representing your constituent group by attending meetings, participating on a listserv, participating in the database vendor selection process, and providing feedback on the
success of the statewide database licensing program. For more information about the program, consult the
<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/technology/sdlp/index.aspx">Statewide Database Licensing Program web site</a>.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee is required to meet at least twice a year. Currently the committee meets more frequently, since it is in the process of working on a new 5 year contract.
Attendance can be in person in Salem or via teleconference. Reimbursements cannot be made for travel or substitute staff.
