From the Chair

Abstract

I’m writing this having just returned from LibLearnX in Baltimore, a week after the GODORT Virtual Midwinter Meetings, and have been feeling reflective on the value of relationships developed through GODORT and ALA. Professional friendships are distinct from other types of friendships, what brings you together is a complicated combination, one part shared sense of purpose, one part co-mentorship, one part venting about the same struggles, one part excitement over career developments and just a dash of shared work humor.
