Current ArLiSNAP Co-Moderator Rachel Schend has had to step down from her position early, so we are preparing to open the polls for a special election.

The Co-Moderator position is an opportunity for a student or new professional to develop their leadership skills while providing a valuable service to ARLIS/NA. ArLiSNAP’s next Co-Moderator will serve from November 2015-March 2018, working alongside ArLiSNAP’s current 2015-2017 Co-Moderator, Tiffany Saulter.

Co-Moderator responsibilities include advancing the concerns of students and new professionals within ARLIS/NA, facilitating special projects, organizing ArLiSNAP’s annual meeting activities for the national ARLIS/NA conference, and contributing to the organization of other conference forums such as the New Voices panel. The future Co-Moderator will be heavily involved with the administration of the ArLiSNAP blog and social media accounts, and will serve as a representative and liaison between ArLiSNAP and other groups within, and outside, ARLIS/NA. 

Candidates  should plan to be present at ARLIS/NA conferences for the following two years. Candidates must be ARLIS/NA members.
