Leadership takes many forms within MiALA and this year, we are looking for nominations to Board positions, Section leadership positions, and Committee leadership positions. You probably know several colleagues who could do an excellent job of filling them - and don't be shy, we accept self-nominations too! If you are new to academic librarianship in Michigan, it's okay.
