LEADS from LLAMA

As president-elect of LAMA, I am a member of the ALA Committee on Appointments. Below is a list of the committees that the division presidents-elect will be advising ALA President-Elect Jim Rettig on. If you are interested on serving on any of these committees, please complete the volunteer form at https://cs.ala.org/rettig/volunteer.html and then also send me an email at mollyr@multcolib.org so that I can advocate for your appointment. Please note that some of the committees that are of high interest (IFC, Leg. Comm., IRC, and others) are not on this list because those appoinments are made by the Council Committee on Committees, also chaired by Jim Rettig.

I encourage you to volunteer and include 2nd and 3rd choices in case your first choice is a popular committee. I have learned a great deal and received a lot of professional satisfaction by working on several of these committees over the 33 years I have belonged to ALA. If you are active in LAMA but haven’t ventured “outside” to the larger ALA, encourage you to do so. Just be sure to let me know so that I can help you get an appointment–and please include a short note about your experience/interest in the areas of you choice.
