ALSC members are the best! There are so many ways to get involved and make wonderful friends while doing good work. We just went around the room at Leadership & ALSC, and every person stood up to say who they are and why they are here. Yes, many people are here because they are on the board or a committee. But there are also new members and long-time members who want to get more involved. It is easy to do! Fill out a committee volunteer form, and check off many committees that interest you. Send it in anytime (at least once a year), and you will hear back with information about how you can get involved.
It may sound silly, but this is truly one of my favorite mornings at conferences, where ALSC members can put faces to names, reconnect with old friends, and cheer one another on for the great work we do for children across the country.
