IFRT Members Community (Open)

Hello everyone!

We are currently in the process of making IFRT Committee appointments to begin in July 2018 and run through Annual Conference in June 2020. If you have not yet put in your committee application, it's not too late! Volunteer today: http://www.ala.org/CFApps/volunteer/form.cfm

We are especially looking for volunteers for our special task forces for this year. The Education task force will focus on working with OIF and IFRT to better understand the continuing education needs of our members, advise on potential webinar topics, and help guide the yearlong activities that IFRT is engaged with. The Strategic Planning Task Force will be responsible for helping develop a long range plan for where IFRT is going. We have over 1,200 people and are in great financial shape; what do we want to do as a group? This group will help guide that process along with assistance from the Executive Committee.

Other committees include:

• Bylaws Committee
• Coalition Building Committee 
• Immroth Award Committee 
• Membership Committee 
• Merritt Fund Committee 
• Nominating Committee
• Oboler Award Committee 
• Program Committee
• Publication Committee

You don't have to attend the conferences to be an active part of a committee or IFRT. You can join today by going to: http://www.ala.org/CFApps/volunteer/form.cfm or by going to http://www.ala.org/rt/ifrt/ifrt-committees and clicking on the volunteer button.

If you have more questions about volunteering, please don't hesitate to reach out. I can be reached by email at johnmackfreeman@gmail.com or by phone at 678.985.6101.

Thanks, and I look forward to working with you!
