I am working through your ALSC Committee Volunteer Forms to make appointments for the process committees, and have been so grateful to all of\u00a0you who’ve volunteered your time. \u00a0But being appointed to a committee is not the only way to step into a leadership role in ALSC.<\/p>\n

Consider serving on the ALSC Board of Directors<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Serving on the ALSC Board gave me a thorough appreciation for how our organization ticks, and an understanding of how a member-driven organization can create actual change. Through my service I acquired knowledge and skills in budgeting, governance, and communication that built my leadership capacity\u00a0in my own work and life.<\/p>\n

Your ALSC Board of Directors steers our organization. \u00a0 From its decision to cancel the 2016 National Institute (an action recently honored by GLBTRT<\/a>), to the new strategic plan <\/a>to be announced shortly, with strategies for Diversity &\u00a0Inclusion, Advocacy, and Learning &\u00a0Development, the Board employs our\u00a0core values of inclusiveness, innovation, integrity and collaboration, to make knowledge-based\u00a0decisions in support of our mission. \u00a0 Who do you<\/em>\u00a0want at this table?<\/p>\n

Nominations are open for the 2018 Election<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Next week ALSC 2017 elections open for Vice-President\/President Elect and Board of Directors positions to be seated following Annual, as well as for award committee positions for the 2019 committees. \u00a0But\u00a0as we speak, the Nominating Committee is awaiting your nomination or self-nomination for candidates for the 2018 election<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do you work with a colleague whose whose knowledge, skills and experience you admire? Have you served on a committee with an ALSC member who embodies our values of leadership, collaboration, and inclusiveness, and who brings diverse experiences and perspectives to the table?<\/p>\n

Are you this person? Don’t be shy. \u00a0Please\u00a0put your own name forward as a possible candidate for the 2018 slate. The deadline is\u00a0Friday, March 31, 2017<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
