TALL Texans –
The free double session that TALL Texans is sponsoring this year is with David Bendekovic to help people develop themselves as library leaders.
Early commitment by a third of the attendees to this conference indicates there will be over 100 people attending this double session.
I need two to four people to volunteer to help me with presiding over these sessions.
I am offering this first come, first served. These are going to be great double sessions (second is a continuation of the first). This ordinarily would be a paid pre-conference but TLA wanted to be sure that everyone had an opportunity to attend. By being a presider you guarantee an excellent seat. I would rather have two people per each session so that one can help with announcements and another can do AV and go for help if necessary.
I was going to be the only presider for these sessions and have found out that I will have a conflict as I am also presenting a paper with colleagues in the middle of these two sessions!
Friday, April 18 8:00-9:50 PM
