SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

 View Only
last person joined: 7 days ago 

The Social Responsibilities Round Table works to make ALA more democratic and to establish progressive priorities not only for the Association, but also for the entire profession. Concern for human and economic rights was an important element in the founding of SRRT and remains an urgent concern today. SRRT believes that libraries and librarians must recognize and help solve social problems and inequities in order to carry out their mandate to work for the common good and bolster democracy.

    ALA's Library Services for Dementia/Alzheimer's (LSDA) Interest Group is offering ways to advance in your career by volunteering to fill one of several openings on our Leadership Team for the upcoming 2026/27 year which begins on July 1.  Since we did not have a Chair Elect last year, all of the positions are available except for Past Chair.  Many of you have a passion for working with those living with dementia and their care partners.  You can channel that passion into creating new and vibrant ways to improve the quality of life for your patrons living with dementia.  Since this is a field which is growing, you can help guide how these services develop throughout the country.  Whether you have a lot of experience or are just beginning, you can make a difference!

    Please take a look at the attached job descriptions and see where you might best be able to serve.  While there are monthly online meetings, all other time commitments are flexible and are based on your schedule.   Most communication occurs via text or email.  Just send an email to Mary Beth Riedner (mbried@comcast.net ) indicating which position is the best fit for you ASAP. 

    Thanks for seriously considering this opportunity.
