[Rachel Rubin]

As a member of the ALA Nominating Committee, I am sharing the following
request for nominees. As it says below, self-nominations are encouraged! If
you have any questions, feel free to contact me or any other member of the
committee. Thank you!


~~

The Nominating Committee for the 2017 ALA election is soliciting nominees
to run on the 2017 spring ballot for the offices of ALA President-elect and
Councilor-at-large. The Committee will select two candidates to run for
President-elect and no fewer than 50 candidates for the 33 at-large Council
seats to be filled in the 2017 spring election.

The President-elect will serve a three-year term: as President-elect in
2017-18, as President in 2018-19, and as Immediate Past President in
2019-20.

The Councilors-at-large will serve three-year terms, beginning after the
2017 ALA Annual Conference and ending at the adjournment of the 2020 Annual
Conference.

The ALA President and Councilors also serve in corresponding roles in the
ALA-Allied Professional Association [ALA-APA].  Individuals considering
ALA-APA office are encouraged to consult with their employer regarding any
restrictions regarding lobbying activities or service on the governing body
of a 501(c)6 organization.

Members who wish to make nominations should submit the following
information: nominee name; present position; institution; address;
telephone; fax; and e-mail address.  Self-nominations are encouraged.   All
potential nominees must complete the Potential Candidate Biographical Form
