Please plan on attending the Chapter Council Presents Sharing Roundtables at MLA ’13 in Boston, MA on Sunday, May 19, from noon-1:30 for lunch and informal discussions!

Attendees must register for a topic as part of their MLA ’13 registrations. No onsite registration is available. Tickets are $42 and include a plated lunch with a salad, entrée, and dessert (indicate dietary restrictions on your registration form).

MLA offers one free lunch ticket per topic to new members (MLA member for five years or less) that register for the meeting via the online registration system. Tickets are paid through Chapter donations and MLA and are available on a first come, first served basis. See the preliminary program for details on how to register for a free lunch ticket.

Facilitators and recorders will be at each table to initiate discussion and to document the discussion for posting on the Chapter Council Web site (www.chaptercouncil.mlanet.org). Facilitators and recorders earn one point toward membership in the Academy of Health Information Professionals for completing these activities. ***If you would like to share your skills and expertise as a facilitator or a recorder for a particular, please e-mail Becky McKay at rlmckay@library.tamu.edu.***
