Hello DGI members,

We’re looking for leaders! If you are ready for an opportunity to hone your leadership skills while leading the SLA Government Information Division, please consider running for Chair-Elect. During this three year commitment, you will learn a variety of skills and work with and develop wonderful friendships with colleagues throughout the world. And you will be supported by the experienced DGI executive and advisory boards.

In your first year, you will plan DGI’s programs and events for SLA’s 2013 Annual Conference in San Diego, California. As a member of the “SLA Division Cabinet,” the Chair-Elect attends both the SLA Leadership Summit (January 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia, US) and the SLA Annual Conference (July 2013 in Chicago).

In the second year, as Chair, you will manage all of the Division’s activities, wrap up the DGI 2013 Annual Conference planning, and lead the Annual Board and Business Meetings at these meetings.
