WPLLA Nominations for Officers

Our annual elections for new officers will be held beginning April lst. This year we will be electing a new:

Vice President/President Elect

Secretary

Executive Board member

The responsibilities for each position are listed below. Please consider volunteering to run for one of these offices or make a suggestion of a colleague that you feel would be a good candidate. Since we are a small group, we ask each of you considering stepping up and help our organization remain strong by volunteering for a turn on the Board.

Distance should be no object! Our board meetings are held monthly at the convenience of the board members. A call-in attendance option is available. In fact, Sue Megarry, Librarian at the Butler County Law Library, recently served as a Board member and called in to attend every meeting, and our last meeting was all by call-in.

Do not be scared away by the Vice President/President Elect title! There is training and assistance available for you. AALL is holding a Chapter Summit for all AALL Chapter leaders followed by an AALL Leadership training session on the Friday and Saturday preceding this year’s annual AALL meeting in Chicago. Our membership has approved funding one night hotel expenses for our VP to attend these sessions.   These are terrific sessions at which you will meet other Chapter leaders with similar concerns. The training that is covered is very helpful in our workplaces as well as in an organizational leadership setting. Please contact myself or Pat Roncevich if you would like further details. Serving as President is a rewarding opportunity and will enhance your career.
