Apologies for cross-posting

Forwarding a message from Mary Case, ALCTS Vice President/President-elect:

Interested in serving on an ALCTS Division or Section Committee?

Concerned that limited funding may make it impossible for you to attend 
conferences?

Don’t worry. Volunteer anyway!

Keep in mind that many committees now do much of their work between 
conferences by e-mail and phone calls. There are also some committees 
(such as award juries) that don’t meet at conference at all. And we do 
have virtual members on committees. The ALCTS appointing officers are 
committed to working with volunteers to find an appropriate spot for 
you. Just let us know your circumstances when you fill out the volunteer 
form.

Additional hints: Don’t select all committees. Tell us the top 3 or 4 
you are interested in. And tell us as much about yourself in terms of 
experiences and interests. We don’t know all of you personally at this 
point and the information will help us determine a good fit.

Don’t forget, Volunteer Forms are due by March 1 to assure consideration.
