Hello everyone in GameRT,
I am your president-elect, Chris Baker. My term as GameRT president starts at the end of Annual this summer, and one of my duties is to make sure all of the committees are full of great volunteers. If you have ever wanted to get more involved with GameRT, from something as simple as writing a blog post to as complex as full committee work, we are looking for you!
Please take a few minutes to fill out this volunteer form and let us know how you would like to get involved: GameRT Volunteer Application
The form is open all year long, but I would love to get as many people tied into the volunteer opportunities as close to the start of the new year service year as possible (read: July 1) so if you could please fill this out before the end of May that would be a huge help.
Not sure if this is for you? Check out these great resources to help you make that decision:
- Details about getting involved in GameRT can be found here: https://games.ala.org/get-involved/
- We’ve posted our 2025 New Member Orientation to YouTube, which has a lot more information about GameRT & our committees: ALA GameRT New Member Orientation – Fall 2025
- Committee descriptions can be found here: https://www.ala.org/rt/gamert/gamert-committees
As a reminder, please fill out this form to continue service on a committee you are currently serving on if you would like to re-commit to a committee.
_______________________________________________
Lastly, if you know of a great library gamer who might not be a member currently, feel free to share links to the volunteer form or getting involved page. While you have to be an active member to serve on a committee, anyone can join in on the shorter projects (blog posts, presenting/teaching on one of our webinars, contributing to the lists, etc.)
Thank you and I look forward to working with y’all in the year to come!
Game on — and stay groovy,
