 NMRT Board Proposal Template

PROPOSAL TO codify ticketing for volunteers at NMRT-sponsored events

From (Name and Office/Committee):  Emily Prather-Rodgers(NMRT President) and Tammy Ivins (chair of the President's Program and Membership Meeting committee)

Date:  1/25/2014

  1. Board Action Requested:

An addition to the ALA-NMRT bylaws.

Article V: 7

NMRT committees may be called upon to organize ticketed events (for fundraising or other purposes) on behalf of NMRT. On those occasions, committee chair[s] may, with the permission of their supervising NMRT board member, attend the event for free as a volunteer for the purposes of  coordinating and managing the event. The committee chair[s] or a single designated alternate from the committee are the only members of the committee who may attend the event for free as a volunteer; any other committee members who wish attend must register and pay as an attendee.

  1. Background:

The primary goal of a fundraising event must be to actually raise funds, and thus it is important to not offer free admission to attendees. NMRT cannot afford to offer complementary admission to all committee volunteers, board members, etc who may participate in planning an event. Such volunteers can pay to attend the event, or choose not to attend. However, the chair of the committee is placed in an awkward position since s/he has ultimate responsibility for ensuring a well-run program and thus really has to to be there (and be there working, not attending) in order to assure quality. 

 

  1. Rationale:

This proposal codifies standard ALA practice, as summarized by the ALA representative to the NMRT Kim Redd: “practice has been the chair (only) could be exempt from paying the preconference registration fee based on the reasons previously mentioned.  Please keep in mind the purpose of the preconference is to generate revenue.  The cost of the preconference is to pay for the expenses on a cost recovery basis and generate a profit.  If all committee members attend without paying at least for the expenses it is possible the round table would not generate any revenue and end up with a negative balance in the budget.” 

  1. Impact on:
    1. Organization: Improved quality of ticketed events as the managing volunteer will be present.
    2. Committee: The President’s Program Committee can plan more elaborate and rewarding program for attendees if they are confident that there will be onsite management of the program.
    3. Other Committees:  n/a
    4. Finances (please indicate amounts here with only brief descriptions. Detailed descriptions of costs should be supplied in “E: Supplemental Information” below):  None, as the ticket not sold to the managing volunteer will be available for purchase by regular attendee.
  2. Supplemental Information (including complete text of the report or policy, and for any proposal that requires additional funding, provide a description and justification for each item):  n/a

Title Coming out of the Shell: Becoming a Powerful Public Speaker.

Attendance cap  30

Anyone, even the shyest among us, can give a presentation that everyone will listen to... it just takes learning savvy presentation and public speaking skills. Three experienced librarians with years of instruction and public speaking experience will impart their wisdom at this pre-conference session, sharing their favorite tools, tricks, and tips. Attendees will learn how to put together an engaging, informative, and appropriate presentation that will command attention, as well as how to overcome nervousness and stage fright. Attendees will be able to actively participate and practice some of what they learn. Everyone has a voice, and that voice deserves to be heard with the attention it deserves. Whether you are an experienced or new librarian, join us on June 27th to gain new insight into coming out of your shell and becoming a powerful public speaker.
