    As everyone in the room already has a buddy, Harold will contact Elizabeth or other people who have expressed interested in being buddies to new librarians. Harold will send out the packets to those who have agreed to be buddies so they can distribute at their first meeting with their buddy.
  5. Gearing up for wave of LAUC lunches with candidates
    In anticipation of a wave of upcoming searches, the past tradition of one executive board member plus one additional librarian, who is not directly involved with the search, taking a candidate to lunch was reviewed and affirmed. The lunch is intended to give the candidate nutrition, information about LAUC, San Diego, as well as to make them feel welcome. Those who take the candidate to lunch have no role in the decision-making process. This year we will try having Executive Board member line up their own lunch partner from outside the Board.
  6. Plans for the call for contributions and a treasurer’s statement
    Barbara gave Laura (secretary-treasurer) an overview of what is to be done with contributions as well as preparing a treasurer’s statement. Laura will send out the call for contributions after the agenda for the next membership meeting goes out, with a due date of October 2. The contribution stays at $10.
  7. Annual reports due (R&PD, CAPA, Diversity, Nominating Committee)
    Harold will send out a reminder to committee chairs that the reports are due asap. Reports will be archived, posted in the LAUC-SD website, and distributed to the membership
