Background:
Based on ALA demographics there is a need for a group focused on maintaining networking relationships
among persons either retired or in late career stages, on continuing professional and personal
development focused on the unique interests of those persons, and on utilizing the unique skills
and knowledge of long-time members for mentoring and membership development. The pattern of
lifetime professional networking which it begun with the New Members Round Table (NMRT) will be
continued with the Retired Members Round Table (
RMRT).
