The CETAC assists the NC Live Librarians Council by presenting it with recommendations and priorities for all professional development opportunities offered by NC LIVE.

鈥淧rofessional development for librarians and faculty is something I鈥檓 genuinely passionate about鈥攁nd being able to help guide and support colleagues across the region through the CETAC team is exciting,鈥� Bishop asserted. 鈥淧roviding high-quality, free development opportunities is essential if we want to think creatively, problem-solve effectively, and keep pushing innovation in our field.
