Are you a member of ILA seeking to become more involved? If you’re a current member seeking increased engagement, or considering joining ILA for a more active role in the Illinois library community, take advantage of the opportunities on ILA’s Forums!
Participating in Forums offers you a glimpse into working alongside professionals statewide who share similar career aspirations and goals. It serves as an excellent avenue to dip your toes into leadership, providing a valuable experience before taking on more significant responsibilities. Additionally, Forums facilitate networking opportunities, allowing you to connect with like-minded individuals and form meaningful connections.
Forums are open to all. If you’re interested in one or more forums, we recommend attending meetings to familiarize yourself with their objectives, goals, and upcoming projects. If you find that you resonate with the Forum’s mission, consider consistently participating in meetings and activities to eventually become a forum leader.
The complete list of ILA Forums is available on the ILA website. If you have any questions about a specific Forum, please contact the ILA staff liaison for the forum.
