RBMS Jobs & Hiring Series Nominations (deadline: June 30)
We are soliciting nominations for speakers as we move forward with the paused Jobs & Hiring Panels series. These new sessions will take place August 3, 10, and 17 at 2pm Eastern. Each of these three remaining panels will have between 3 and 5 speakers.

Please circulate this call for nominations widely--we are actively interested in recruiting people with diverse experiences  and identities who work in GLAMS (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums, and Special Collections) and GLAMS-adjacent careers (such as booksellers). In selecting speakers, we will strive for as balanced a representation of race, color, religion or creed, national origin or ancestry, religion or creed, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, age, ability, and citizenship as possible. Nominees do not need to be members of RBMS, ACRL, or ALA to participate.

A small planning group has been formed to review nominations and send invitations:

Alison Clemens (RBMS Diversity Committe)
Beth DeBold (RBMS M&PD Committee; RBMS Security Committee)
Christine Jacobson (RBMS M&PD Committee)
Christine Lutz (RBMS Workshops Committee)
Diane Dias de Fazio (RBMS M&PD Committee)
E. Haven Hawley (RBMS member)
Elisabeth Lisa Cruces (RBMS member)
Erika Jenns (RBMS M&PD Committee)
Julie Cismoski (RBMS Workshops Committee; RBMS IOC Committee)
Julie Tanaka (RBMS member)
Sarah Burke Cahalan (RBMS Security Committee; RBMS Climate Response Task Force)

Please nominate a colleague, or yourself, here by the end of the day on Wednesday, June 30. Invitations will be made as soon as possible in July.
