Contact details
for Divisional Secretaries, Chartership Support Officers
and Publications Promotions Officers are published regularly
in Impact: the journal of
the Career Development Group as well as in the Career Development
Group Council Directory.
Divisional
committee members are often the first contact Career Development
Group members have with Officers of the Group. Divisional
committee members are expected to attend four to six committee
meetings per year. Business discussed at Divisional committee
meetings includes plans for courses, meetings, Divisional
newsletters, fundraising, and matters referred to or from
the Career Development Group Council. The number of members
and Officers for a particular Division are laid down in
that Division's model rules, but normally consist of a Chair,
Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Chartership Support Officer,
Publications Promotion Officer, and 10-15 committee members.
Some Divisions have additional posts with responsibility
in such areas as education, meetings, publicity, unemployed
or affiliate members. One Officer is appointed as the Division's
representative on the Career Development Group Council.
Those Divisions with Departments of Library and Information
Studies/Management also have a student representative. Divisional
committee members are expected to support Divisional events
where possible.
