Leadership takes many forms in MiALA and there are many service opportunities available. Why is serving in MiALA leadership a win/win for all of us? Because service with MiALA: * Takes only a few hours of time each month; * Can count toward tenure or continuing appointment requirements at your institution; * Establishes an active professional network with colleagues from other institutions; * Promotes academic librarianship through collaboration and communication. Do you or someone you know have the dedication and enthusiasm to serve in MiALA leadership? Or someone who is newer to academic librarianship in Michigan? Or someone who is eager to enhance their leadership skills? If so, please nominate them (or yourself) to run for one of these open Board positions: * Vice President/President-Elect * Secretary * Publicly Funded University Rep * Private College Rep * Community College Rep * Interest Group Coordination Council Representatives (Two 2-year terms and Two 1-year terms) Nominations open on April 15, 2021 and will be accepted through May 21, 2021.
