From the Chair

Abstract

The fiftieth anniversary of GODORT will be marked in 2022, which allows me the privilege of serving as GODORT chair through much of our organization’s golden year. Some in our membership are intimately connected to the origins and history of our round table while even more are new to our membership and are unfamiliar with our beginnings. I do not plan to recount the origin story in this column—I’m sure others will do that in these pages over the coming year. Instead I would like to highlight one piece of the origin story that I think still holds true to our current membership and their commitment to getting the word out about government information.
