NORDP Liaisons Programli·ai·son : a person who helps organizations or groups to work together and provide information to each other NORDP Liaisons is an exciting opportunity for NORDP members to thoroughly advocate for Research Development to external organizations and associations while gaining additional professional experience. While championing NORDP, Liaisons provide an invaluable service to NORDP members by gathering and sharing relevant and useful information as part of a broad and strategic outreach program.
The goal is that the NORDP Liaison program will lead to enjoyable, positive, and engaging experiences that broaden our organizational alliances to the benefit of NORDP members as well as the NORDP organization and that complement your current professional roles! Role of a NORDP Liaison
NORDP Liaisons serve a minimum of 3 years and provide regular feedback to the Strategic Alliances Committee who will share this information on the NORDP News blog. NORDP Liaisons are members of the Strategic Alliances Committee, which provides support for this outreach activity through various projects and teleconferences. Liaisons are asked to participate in a 30-minute monthly meeting with other liaisons. Want to learn more? Feel free to contact one of the current liaisons, or talk to one of the co-chairs. Interested in becoming a NORDP Liaison?NORDP is interested in expanding its liaison program to include representation in additional organizations. Ideally, the organization you choose to support should be one that will be of benefit to your institution. While travel grants may be available through NORDP for attendance at annual meetings, these are not guaranteed. As such, your host institution should support your membership and travel to the liaison organization’s activities, as applicable). Please contact the Liaison Manager, Elizabeth Festa at [email protected] or the SAC Board rep, Kim Patten at [email protected] , for more information. What qualifications do I need?We are looking for individuals who have been a NORDP member for at least two years, have served as a volunteer on a NORDP committee (a Conference committee counts); and have held a leadership position or role within their host institution. If you have not held a leadership role, you may be eligible to serve as a concierge or “point person” to the organization; to assist in developing materials and resources for the organization, or for serving as an apprentice to an existing liaison. I’m interested, but how do I learn more about NORDP to be an effective representative?An orientation with an experienced member of the Board of Directors, background readings, and materials to bring to our liaison organization are part of the process. What’s the next step?Please contact the liason manager, Elizabeth Festa, to receive an application. The application includes a copy of your cv and an application questionnaire that asks about your interest in your liaison organization.
