AASL seeks enthusiastic and profession-focused school librarians to serve on the 2025 AASL National Conference Committee. The conference, taking place October 16-18, 2025, in St. Louis, Missouri, is the only national conference dedicated solely to the needs of school librarians and their roles as educational leaders.
Along with professional learning, the AASL National Conference is an opportunity for school librarians across the country to build professional learning networks and unite as a community. The conference allows school librarians to feel connected, rally spirits, and refresh their dedication to the field. To fulfill the needs of attendees, national conference committee members will be responsible for providing opportunities to connect, identifying current educational needs, and providing dynamic professional development.
Available committee positions include conference co-chairs, programming co-chairs, author co-chairs, local arrangements co-chairs, and social media co-chairs. Service on the national conference committee is a significant commitment. Once finalized, the committee will meet each month virtually and attendance is required. Members must work collaboratively with other committee members, meet critical dates and deadlines, and maintain their ALA/AASL membership during their appointment.
AASL members may apply at www.ala.org/aasl/app. Applications must be received by 11:59 p.m. on April 4. All applicants will be notified as to appointment decisions by June 1.
