Have you thought about nominating for the Australian Library and Information Association Board of Directors but not entirely sure what would be involved or how to go about it?
The ALIA Board of Directors will hold an information session during the ALIA National Library and Information Technicians Conference which will provide the opportunity for ALIA members to learn about the function of the ALIA Board and the role of a board director. It will also provide the means for ALIA members who have an interest in pursuing a future appointment to the board to develop their knowledge, skills and competencies in this area.
The information session is open to all ALIA members who are enthusiastic, appropriately skilled and visionary individuals committed to the profession and the association.
