Do you want to meet new people in the Oregon library world but feel uncomfortable approaching people you don’t know? Let the New Member Round Table (NMRT) make it easy for you!

The speed networking program is simple yet effective. Participants turn to the person next to them and spend five minutes talking about who they are, where they live, and their professional interests. The exchange of contact information is highly encouraged. After five minutes, one person moves to a new seat and the networking continues with a new partner. At the end of the session, each person will have met up to ten new people. Whether the connection will be short-term, such as someone to sit with during lunch, or long-term, such as someone to help brainstorm library programs, the speed networking program will help everyone involved point toward a bright future.
