<b>There is an open position for a chair-elect. </b>If you aren’t already a member of the Staff Training Round Table, you can join for free at any time! <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222">This is the charge of our round table: The Staff Training Round Table (STRT) is a resource for any library staff member who is involved
with staff training at their library. Membership in this group will allow libraries across the state to discuss current training issues and best practices, share resources, and collaborate on building future training to meet the needs of an ever-evolving profession.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222">Duties of officers: The Chair attends meetings, organizes and announces meeting dates, develops the agendas, and chairs the meetings. The
Chair-elect can assist with any or all of the duties of the Chair, and will be the Chair in the following year. Secretary takes notes at the meetings, shares the notes, and manages the STRT page on the OLA website. The chair-elect is a two year commitment,
which serves as the chair in the second year. The Secretary is a one year commitment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

report to the OLA Executive Board at the end of the Association year. Additional meetings and activities are at the discretion of the Round Table members, who in practice perform much of the work of the group. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
