Message-ID: Hello FCLCA! Just a reminder that Virtual Meet Ups are occurring this month (STARTING TODAY!) Please share with your colleagues (in and outside of your institution) so we can have robust discussions! Send an email to the organizer if you would like an appointment/calendar invite. The Professional Development Committee would love to connect with you before the conference. We've put together some dates and times for you to join us for virtual meetups. For the first meetup, we've tried to tailor the sessions based on different department roles, and we diversified the topics, so please pick the one that best relates to you/your role at your institution. We understand that schedule conflicts can happen, and don't worry-we'll be offering more days and times in the future for the next meetups. Hopefully you are able to adjust your schedule and connect with us!
