| The American Library Association (ALA) will be holding a 2022 Virtual Volunteer Fair on September 14, 2022, from 3:00 pm –5:00 pm CT. The fair will be an opportunity for ALA Members to drop in and speak with committee members and/or staff liaisons from various ALA groups that offer volunteer opportunities, including ALA Association committees, Divisions, and Round Tables. This is an opportunity for members to ask more specific questions about a committee or group's work, time commitment, typical schedule, how to volunteer, etc! Members should register for the event, but attendance for the full two hours is not required. Members can drop in and out as their schedule allows. The various groups will be divided into breakout sessions, and attendees will be free to move among the breakout sessions. ALA Staff will be available in zoom to assist with tech, help members move from room to room, and to answer other questions. A list of the breakout sessions and schedule will be provided to all registered attendees prior to the date and available in the main session of the Virtual Volunteer Fair. Don't forget to submit volunteer applications by September 30, 2022, to be considered for 2023-2025 ALA Association & Council Committees. Read the recent call for volunteers for ALA Association and Council committees. You will learn more about this process during the Virtual Volunteer Fair, as well as Division and Round Table committees. Volunteer Fair information is also posted in this Member News Item. Don't forget to register! Reach out to governance@ala.org with any questions. See you at the Fair! ALA Governance |
