District 8

We would like to extend congratulations to Julie Stephens, District 8 LMSOTY Nominee, for being awarded the 2003 Library Media Specialist of the Year for the state of Georgia. Julie is an active member of District 8 and is doing her part to promote a positive image for Library Media Specialists.

District 8 participates in the Media Specialist Consortium held in the spring and fall at the Floyd College Educational Technology Training Center. Almost 100 media specialists participated in the fall consortium. This is a great way to connect with others in the same profession for swapping ideas and suggestions. Thanks to Judy McEntyre and her staff for their continued support of library media specialists and the library media programs in District 8.

District 8 has reached its goals of increased membership and participation in GLMA events. It was nice to see the District 8 members who participated in the Georgia Council of Media Organizations 2003 conference held at Jekyll Island. The presentations were very informative. An educational and fun time was had by all that attended the conference. The 2004 conference will be held in Athens, Georgia.
Cawood Cornelius, Gordon Central High School Library Media Specialist, is running for President-Elect of GLMA. His goals for GLMA are increasing membership and continuing to promote the positive impact that Georgia Library Media Specialists are having on student learning.

If you are interested in being a contact for your school system in District 8, please contact Cawood Cornelius <ccornelius@gcbe.org>. The only requirement is that you are a member of GLMA.
