SAG Vice Chair Vacancy
SAG is seeking a vice chair! This is a two-year appointment: one year as vice chair, and one year as chair. The vice chair assists the chair in setting the agenda and runs meetings if the chair is absent. This is not a large time commitment, and it is a great way to get involved in the libraries.
If you are interested or have any questions, please contact Jara Anderson (jbanderson@missouri.edu) or Jennifer Walker (walkerje@missouri.edu).
