[Michlib-l] MiALA Leadership call for nominations now open!

[heather at miala.org]

Hello MiALA friends, 

 

Happy Spring! In this season of renewal, it's time to consider the
possibilities for leadership and service with the Michigan Academic Library
Association (MiALA).  We recognize the challenges we continue to face during
this unprecedented event, and MiALA will continue to serve its members - but
we need your help.



Leadership takes many forms in MiALA and there are many service
opportunities available. 

 

Why is serving in MiALA leadership a win/win for all of us? Because service
with MiALA:

 

*	Takes only a few hours of time each month;
*	Can count toward tenure or continuing appointment requirements at
your institution;
*	Establishes an active professional network with colleagues from
other institutions;
*	Promotes academic librarianship through collaboration and
communication.

 

Do you or someone you know have the dedication and enthusiasm to serve in
MiALA leadership? Or someone who is newer to academic librarianship in
Michigan? Or someone who is eager to enhance their leadership skills? If so,
please nominate them (or yourself) to run for one of these open Board
positions:

 

*	Vice President/President-Elect
*	Secretary
*	Publicly Funded University Rep
*	Private College Rep
*	Community College Rep
*	Interest Group Coordination Council Representatives (Two 2-year
terms and Two 1-year terms) 

 

Nominations open on April 15, 2021 and will be accepted through May 21,
2021. Newly-elected positions will begin service on July 1, 2021.
