“The 2010 Emerging Leaders (EL) program, which is in its fourth year, kicks off with a daylong session during the 2010 American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting in Boston….
ALA Emerging Leaders
Dear Colleagues:
When I ran for ALA President, I pledged to provide
members who want to play a meaningful role in ALA the opportunity to do so. I
am asking for your help in making this promise a reality.
One of the most important responsibilities I will
undertake as ALA President-elect is to make appointments to the ALA a...nd Council
committees in collaboration with the Committee on Appointments (COA) and the Committee
on Committees (COC).
To ensure diversity on all ALA and Council committees, I
am seeking ALA members who represent racial and ethnic diversity; a variety of
types and sizes of libraries, areas of the country, and work experience; and
experience in participating in ALA. In addition (and importantly), one of
my goals this year is to encourage the involvement of newer members, members
previously not active, and active members who have never been formally
appointed to serve on committees. I would especially appreciate your
forwarding to me the names of those who are new to ALA and to the profession so
I can consider them for appointment as committee members or interns.
Serving on an ALA or Council committee provides members
with leadership training, networking opportunities, and experience in working
on specific association topics. I know that, as a member-leader, you have
a broad knowledge of the kinds of people I am looking for. Therefore, I
would be grateful for your help in encouraging interested member-volunteers who
would be good choices for appointment to serve on the committees listed
here:
Accreditation; American Libraries Advisory; Awards;
Budget Analysis and Review; Chapter Relations; Conference; Constitution and
Bylaws; Council Orientation; Diversity; Education
Election; Human Resource Development and Recruitment
Advisory; Information Technology Policy Advisory; Intellectual Freedom;
International Relations; Legislation; Library Advocacy; Literacy; Literacy and
Outreach Services Advisory; Membership; Membership Meetings; Organization;
Policy Monitoring (current Council members only); Professional Ethics; Public
and Cultural Programs Advisory; Public Awareness; Publishing; Research and
Statistics; Resolutions; Rural Native and Tribal Libraries of All Kinds;
Scholarships and Study Grants; Status of Women in Librarianship; Training,
Orientation and Leadership Development; Website Advisory; ALA-Children*s Book
Council (Joint Committee); ALA-Association of American Publishers (Joint Committee);
and the ALA-Society of American Archivists/American Association of Museums
(Joint Committee).
Anyone who would like to serve on one of the above
committees must complete the committee volunteer form available at http://tinyurl.com/ybpgsm9. The
deadline for completing the ALA committee volunteer form is Friday, December 4,
2009.
I will also be organizing a number of task forces for my
Presidential year to explore ways in which we can continue to transform the
association for the 21st century. Individuals who are not appointed to a
committee will have the opportunity to be tapped for one of these groups.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to

On behalf of ACRL's College Libraries Section, I would like to invite you to
take part in an opportunity that will provide you with a highly rewarding and
satisfying experience-that of providing service and a professional contribution
to academic librarianship through membership (live or virtual) on one or more
of CLS' com...mittees. You will also benefit by meeting talented colleagues with
relevant knowledge and experiences to share and by learning of best practices
in the field. Volunteers possessing knowledge of other section members are
needed particularly for the nominating committee. Current committee members who
haven't yet served five consecutive years on a committee are eligible for
reappointment if their current appointments will expire in 2010. If you are
interested in serving another term, please contact me.
For information about CLS committees or discussion groups, go to
http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/a
order to be considered for appointment, please complete the ACRL volunteer form
at http://www.acrl.org/volunteer <http://www.acrl.org/volunteer%20>
