Greetings - ALA members - if you have not yet voted in the ALA election, you still have time! Voting ends at 11:59 pm Pacific Time on Wednesday, April 6, 2022. So - we get three whole extra hours in the middle of the night to vote here in EST! ALA members should have received an email directly from the ALA Governance Office with a direct link and credentials to vote. This email is unique to each ALA member, and will allow you to vote in the elections for ALA generally and any other ALA unit of which you are a member. If you have not received a notification, please contact governance@ala.org. We have the opportunity to support one of MI's own for ALA Councilor at Large! John Clexton, Executive Director, Gladwin County District Library, is on the ballot. You can read more about him, including his Statement of Professional Concern, using the ALA Council Candidate Sorter linked below. Choose MI, then scroll down and over. Thank you for running, John! For more information on the election and the candidates, please visit: https://www.ala.org/aboutala/governance/alaelection For information on elections for divisions, round tables, and ethnic caucuses, please refer to each unit's website or ALA Connect space. The ALA division Core (a voted merger of ALCTS, LITA, and LLAMA) has created an ALA Council Candidate Sorter for the 2022 election. With so many candidates to choose from for Councilor at Large positions, you may find this helpful. I did! You can find candidates who are Spectrum Scholars or Emerging Leaders, as well as who is running by division, round table, ethnic caucus, library type, and state. You may find the sorter here: http://alacoreservices.org/elections/2022_council_sorter.html If you have ALA-related questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. I hope all is well in your world! Jennifer Dean MLA Board of Directors - ALA Councilor, 2021-2022 -- Jennifer L.
