Dear New Members Round Table Member,
As we head into a new term for our Executive Board, we wanted to thank you for continuing to support the New Members Round Table. With your help, we are able to provide a welcoming space and launching point for new ALA members to connect with others. Whether it is through participating in our committee volunteer opportunities, online discussion forums, programs, scholarships, and mentoring or attending in-person events at our conference orientations, resume review service, and socials; our round table strives to be a home for all new ALA members who have been a member for less than 10 years.
On January 28, 2023, ALA Council approved ALA CD#44.3, Motion 1 as amended, which altered all Round Table dues for financial year 2024 and beyond. Starting September 1, 2023, all round table dues will be as follows:
-
All personal members will pay $15
-
All student members will pay $5
-
All organization and corporate members will pay $30
-
All international members will receive International Relations Round Table membership for free
ALA Council, in consultation with the ALA Membership Committee, decided to move to this platform to standardize all dues across the 19 ALA round tables. This change impacts student members of NMRT, as NMRT dues will be lower for student members while dues will remain the same for all other personal members. If you have any questions about this change, please do not hesitate to email the NMRT President, Julie Gabb, through ALA Connect or alanewmembersroundtable@gmail.com .
Best regards,
The NMRT Executive Board
