Make a difference: Connect, contribute, collaborate: Volunteer for division and section committees and editorial boards

Abstract

Are you looking for ways to expand your professional network and contribute to ACRL? Committee volunteers help shape ACRL by advancing its strategic plan and influencing the direction of academic and research librarianship. Serving on a committee or editorial board is a great way to become involved and make an impact on the profession.If you’d like to become more engaged, ACRL Vice-President/President-Elect Julie A. Garrison invites you to volunteer to serve on a 2021–2022 division or section committee.Thank you for volunteering to contribute your time and expertise to ACRL! This is an incredible time within higher education and society, and we value your continued commitment to fostering a strong and healthy association that supports our collective professional efforts. Our association relies on the time, energy, and talent of our member volunteers to carry out the work of the association and envision and enact our future. In the interest of creating an appointment process that is as transparent as possible, I will issue a statement informing the membership of the number of opportunities and volunteers, and other relevant information, after the appointments process is complete.
