Greetings Michigan Library Family!
I hope you all are having a wonderful fall! Last year ALA President Jim Neal created a new committee call the Policy Corps to take a deep dive on congressional policy issues such
as federal funding, network neutrality, and broadband access. We are looking at adding new members to the original nation-wide cohort of 12 (which includes our very own Larry Neal and myself). It is certainly a worthwhile endeavor and
we don’t have any applicants from Michigan. I encourage you to apply if you have an interest in being more involved with policy making at the national level.
The application is open through Friday:
http://www.ala.org/advocacy/ala-policy-corps-application. Please be quick with your applications as the deadline is November 16th. It is certainly a worthwhile endeavor and Larry and I would love another colleague
from our incredible state.
Thank you for your consideration!
