Dear EMIERT Membership,
Happy New Year! I reach out to you today with great news, our membership has reached 1% of ALAs total personal membership earning EMIERT a position on ALA Council.
The EMIERT Councilor will represent the round table for a term of three years on ALA Council, the governing body of ALA, as well as the ALA-Allied Professional Association (ALA-APA) Council. The term will start at the end of the 2014 Annual Conference in Las Vegas and last through the conclusion of the 2017 Annual Conference in Chicago. ALA Council determines all policies of the Association and its decisions are binding unless set aside by the membership. Councilors are expected to attend each of the scheduled ALA-APA and ALA Council meetings at Midwinter and Annual Conference (2015, 2016 and 2017). All candidates must be both a dues-current member of both ALA and EMIERT to run. To learn more about ALA Council, please visithttp://www.ala.org/aboutala/governance/council.
If you are interested in representing EMIERT on ALA Council, please contact Tess Tobin, Nominating Committee, chair at TTobin@citytech.cuny.edu
Thank you,
Katherine Trouern-Trend
EMIERT, chair
