The ILA Nominating Committee is seeking candidates for the 2020-2021 Executive Board Election. In April 2020, members will vote for the ILA Vice-President\/President-elect and for four Executive Board positions: 2 Public Library, 1 Special Library, and 1 Academic library representative. These are three-year terms beginning July 2020 and ending June 2023.<\/p>\n
The nomination process begins with an open call for nominations for these positions. All ILA members are invited to nominate a colleague or self-nominate. Submission of a nominee suggestion form does not guarantee the nominee will appear on the slate; the Nominating Committee will review all nominations and may also seek additional individuals to meet identified needs, in order to develop the strongest possible slate.<\/p>\n
The Nominating Committee is seeking candidates who have strategic skill sets to govern a professional, nonprofit association. Duties and expectations of Executive Board members<\/a> can be found on the ILA website. For the 2020 election, skills especially needed include: a big picture focus\/global outlook; the ability to act as a change agent; a commitment to actively participate and serve for three years; and the ability to implement ILA’s new strategic plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n The submission deadline is 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 11, 2019<\/strong>. To submit a nomination, complete the nomination form<\/a> online. Please direct any questions to Cynthia Fuerst, ILA Past-President and Chair of the Nominating Committee, at cfuerst@vapld.info<\/a>.<\/p>\n Please note: <\/strong>ILA bylaws state\u00a0nominees selected to appear on the slate “must be members of ILA at the time of nomination;”\u00a0that is, by the time\u00a0the slate is finalized.<\/p>\n Thank you in advance for taking an active role in the Association’s nomination process and for encouraging individuals to apply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" (via the Illinois Library Association) The ILA Nominating Committee is seeking candidates for the 2020-2021 Executive Board Election.
