Dear Colleagues,    

    

The Art Librarians Society of North America - New York Chapter is seeking members for two committees and five executive Board positions: Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect, Secretary, Programming Coordinator (Member-At-Large), Social Media Coordinator, and News Editor.

    

This year, in addition to looking for committee volunteers, we seek nominations (self-nominations are encouraged) for all open positions, even those traditionally appointed by the Vice-Chairperson/Chairperson-Elect (these are the Social Media Coordinator and News Editor positions). For more information on the responsibilities for each position, see the post on our website.  

    

We are looking for members to serve on the Nominating and Celine Palatsky Award Committees. If you have been interested in taking on an ARLIS/NA NY leadership role and unable to commit to a Board position’s time requirements, serving on a committee is a great way to get your feet wet and learn more about our society.    

    

Due to these unprecedented times, and because membership in both the Chapter and ARLIS/NA is required to serve on the Board, the Board decided to wave chapter dues and sponsor national memberships for new board positions who are not yet members and are currently students or unemployed, and are selected to serve on the Executive Board.    

    

To learn more about our Chapter, see our history page and bylaws. To see who is currently serving on the Board.  

    

For questions and all nominations (self, encouraged), please contact me directly. Those interested will need to submit a cover letter and CV for committee work by Monday, October 5th, and serve on the Board by Monday, October 19th.   

    

Committee work will commence as soon as we fill the positions, and Board terms begin on January 1, 2021. The committee and open Board member positions are detailed below.    

    

With kind regards,    

    

Samantha Deutch    

ARLIS/NA NY, Vice-Chairperson/Chairperson-Elect
