Dear ARLIS/NA members, The ARLIS/NA Executive Board is seeking volunteers for committee chairs for governance year 2023-2024. Please consider getting involved by leading one of our committees. In addition to being a great service to the society, chairing committees (or leading other constituent groups) gives you the opportunity to shape ARLIS and to connect with colleagues from across North America. We are recruiting for the following committees: Awards, Cataloging Advisory, Development, Diversity & Inclusion, Nominating, Professional Development. *Please apply here <https://forms.gle/3Y1V28Y9LPYLuFVq5>. * Deadline to apply is January 6th. Refer to the ARLIS/NA Policy Manual for details on each committee's charge and any other criteria related to the chair position or committee. Additional information is available online at https://www.arlisna.org/committees. Each committee requires different competencies and time commitments, if you have any questions please contact ARLIS/NA Vice-President Rachel Resnik at [log in to unmask] *Committee Appointment Process Overview* · The Vice President puts out a call for chairs for committees with chair vacancies. · At the January or February Executive Board meeting, the board will vote on a slate of committee chairs proposed by the Vice-President. VP will get in touch with everyone who applies. · The Vice President will post a general call to solicit volunteers to serve on committees and subcommittees. Committee chairs and members are encouraged to recruit for committee members by forwarding the interest form to potential new committee members. · Incoming committee chairs, in consultation with outgoing committee chairs, or continuing chairs as appropriate, will select new members for their committee. Committee chairs will ascertain which committee members are eligible and willing to serve again. · Committee members who are eligible for reappointment may bypass the recruitment process. · The ARLIS/NA governance year 2023-2024 commences with the annual conference in Mexico City. Business meetings will be held online during the two weeks following the conference. We do a broad call for committee leaders and committee members as an inclusive practice with the hope that it will diversify member involvement. We also encourage committee chairs and members to actively recruit-- please invite interested individuals to fill out the appropriate interest form. Please look for a follow up message about other ARLIS/NA leadership opportunities. So many ways to get involved! Thank you all for the work you do for the society!
