NCLA DOCUMENTS SECTION
Report to the Executive Board
October 15, 2004



UPCOMING ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING
Following the program on November 12 we will have our annual business meeting. At this important meeting we will vote on the proposed section name change (to "Government Resources Section"). The change was approved in principle at the NCLA Executive Board meeting on April 16, 2004, but it is not an official change until the members present at the annual meeting take a vote. An additional proposed by-laws change is to eliminate the Docs representative to North Carolina Libraries (it is no longer required by North Carolina Libraries). Also at the annual meeting we will vote on a proposed slate of candidates to serve as officers for the next two years.

PROPOSED SLATE OF NEW OFFICERS FOR 2004-2005
For Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect: Beth Kaylor, UNC-Wilmington.
For Secretary/Treasurer: Dianne Ford, Elon University.
