GLBTRT Officer Elections
It's time to vote for new Round Table officers again. This time, there are two vacancies: Co-Chair and Secretary. The two candidates for co-chair are Jennifer Meister, Technology & Reference Librarian, Free Public Library of Williamsport, and Nancy Silverrod, Librarian, San Francisco Public Library. The candidate for Secretary is Tracy Nectoux, Cataloger, Illinois Newspaper Project, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Biographical statements from two of the candidates are below.
Nancy Silverrod: I'm a fifty-one year old Jewish lesbian who came out in the heady early seventies. My career as a librarian has consisted of stints in children's, teen, and adult services, and I dedicate it all to my school librarians, Mrs. Graham and Miss Davis. I live with my bossy bird, Pip, and my sweet dog, Ginny, more books than I have shelves for, and a lot of unfinished knitting projects.
Tracy Nectoux: I received my MLIS degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, where I currently work as a Cataloger for the Illinois Newspaper Project. My title is Visiting Associate Professor (Oh! Maryann!), but I think of myself as a Cataloger/Bibliographer. I am 42 years old, married, bisexual, and stubborn. I plan to fight for full GLBT civil rights until we have them or until my dying breath, whichever comes first.
The polls are open from March 17 to April 24, so start voting now!
