Sharing this call a little more widely, for those in the Mid-Atlantic Chapter but not yet in our Commons Group.

 

Thanks,

Hello local ARLIS colleagues,

 

Just a reminder—there are two great opportunities to get more involved with ARLIS on the local level, and by extension, ARLIS/NA!

 

As Vice Chair or as Treasurer, you can continue the good work of our group as we’ve navigated Covid-era challenges. But as shown by our fantastic in-person meeting earlier this month, there is enthusiasm for more expert presentations, more tours, and more opportunities to get together, so there is lots of room to increase engagement.

 

And as we have not yet received any nominations, I want to encourage those who may be on the fence to reach out with any questions. It has been a valuable experience for me personally, and I am happy to talk more about that one on one.

 

Thank you,

~Anne

 

 

 

We are seeking nominees (including self-nominations) for two ARLIS/NA Mid-Atlantic Chapter Board positions: Vice Chair/Chair-Elect and Treasurer, to begin in January 2023. Serving as an officer is a great way to contribute to the Chapter, build leadership skills, and meet and develop relationships with wonderful art library colleagues in the Mid-Atlantic area. Please submit your nominations by Monday, November 21.

 

Vice Chair/Chair Elect (2 years)

This is a three year position, and the Vice Chair will automatically assume the position of Chair in their second year of service followed by a concluding year as Immediate Past Chair.

 

Vice Chair duties are as follows: 

• The Vice Chair acts as chief executive officer in the event that the Chair is unable to serve, assists with meeting programming, keeps meeting minutes, and automatically serves as Chair the following year.
• The Chair acts as chief executive officer of the Chapter. 
• With the assistance of the Vice-Chair and Treasurer, the Chair plans the activities of the Chapter, communicates about meetings, serves as chair of all special project committees, submits the annual report and otherwise liaises with officers and committees of the national association, and shall automatically become the Immediate Past Chair in the following year.

 

Treasurer (2 years)

The Treasurer shall be responsible for all documents and correspondence regarding membership and handle all financial accounts of the Chapter. The Treasurer will also oversee membership accounts, new and renewals. The Treasurer will serve a term of two years.

 

Eligibility

To qualify for these positions, one must be 2022/2023 members of the chapter and the society. The elected officers should make every effort to attend the society’s annual conference. Students are also eligible to serve (keeping in mind the three year term of service).

 

To nominate yourself or another chapter member, or if you have questions about the role, please email the current and incoming chapter chairs, Anne Evenhaugen and Yuki Hibben, by Monday, November 21.

 

Thank you for your consideration!
