ACRL Chapters Council

Hi all,

Question...does the chapter representative to ACRL have to also be a member of ACRL? I am looking for someone to replace me in July and just want to make sure I am sharing the correct information with potential replacements.

Thanks,

Jane

Dear Ms. Hammons:

Thank you very much for checking. I will contact Megan Griffin at ACRL and let you know what I learn. I will also share the response with the group, in case anyone else has the same question.

At least one chapter officer must be members of both ACRL and the chapter in order to serve on Chapters Council. 

From the ACRL Guide to Policies & Procedures:

Chapters Council. Each chapter participates in Chapters Council through two representatives who have one vote on behalf of the chapter. Representatives are the president (chair) and/or vice-president (vice-chair) or a delegate who is a member of the chapter and also a member of ACRL.

Officers. The president (chair) and/or vice-president (vice-chair) of each chapter must be members of ACRL or the chapter may have a delegate who is a member of the chapter and also a member of ACRL.
