Hello,

I invite you to attend the 2020 Virtual Information Session for Members, Councilors, and Executive Board and the Virtual Membership Meeting (VMM) next month.

These livestream sessions will include information and forum allowing personal members to hear first-hand updates from ALA leaders, with the opportunity to engage in real time with ALA leadership. It is a chance to learn more about the governance of ALA and share the experience with colleagues from your community and across the world. Register to attend and submit a question for the ALA leadership.

The 2020 Virtual Information Session will take place Monday June 22, from 12:30pm – 2:00pm CT with the Virtual Membership Meeting (#VMM20) following at 3:00pm Central time. Starting June 23rd, we invite you to attend ALA’s Governing Council sessions, with ALA’s governing body, to learn more about the work of the association.

This is your association – make sure your voice is heard – register today.
