(via Dan Matthews, IACRL Past President)
Want to make a difference in the Illinois academic library community? Looking for an opportunity to develop your leadership skills? Consider running for an Illinois Association of College & Research Libraries (IACRL) office.
Two offices, Secretary and Vice President/President-Elect, are on the ballot each spring. The Secretary serves a one-year term. The Vice President/President-Elect serves a year in that position, followed by a year as President and another year as Past President. Terms run from July 1 to June 30 of the following year.
Once elected, new officers are not expected to know how to do everything right away-previous officers and ILA staff are there to help when questions arise. Additional information about responsibilities is available on the ILA website.
If you are interested in running for either office, or you would like to nominate someone else, please contact Dan Matthews, IACRL Past President and Nominating Committee Chair, at matthewsd29@morainevalley.edu, no later than Friday, March 15.
