Job Description for Cluster Representatives

Representatives must understand that they are representing a group of libraries, either their cluster or, in the case of at-large seats, a group of clusters. Communicating information and soliciting feedback are critical job responsibilities of the representatives. Specifically, representatives will be expected to:

• Attend all meetings in person, via phone, or via videoconferencing. The meeting frequency for
  the committees are:
  
  
  • Administrative Council: 3rd Thursday per month plus occasional special meetings.
    
  • Delivery Committee: 2nd Tuesday every other month beginning in February 2013; additional meetings may be called occasionally.
    
  • ILS Committee: 1st Wednesday every month; additional meetings may be called occasionally.
    
  • Technology Committee: 2nd Wednesday every other month beginning in February 2013; additional meetings may be called occasionally.
    
    
• Discuss an appropriate meeting schedule with constituents. Quarterly in-person meetings are recommended as a best practice.
  
  
• Read all materials in preparation of the meeting.
  
  
• Provide constituents with updates from previous meetings, information about upcoming meetings, and share other materials from meetings in a timely way.
  
  
• Gather and share feedback from constituents on any issues/concerns/decisions.
  
  
• With assistance from SCLS, create a method to communicate with constituents in order to share
  information and receive feedback.
