[evergreen-outreach] LITA training/webinar opportunity

[Andrea Buntz Neiman]

+1, I love this idea. I don't think I will be able to attend the meeting
this week either, but I'm happy to help however I can - I attended the
session at ALA Annual in 2019, and (to everyone's surprise) took copious
notes, which were turned into a blog post for EOLI's newsletter. Happy to
offer that up as a starting point.
