The ILA Nominating Committee<\/a>\u00a0is seeking candidates for the 2021-2022 Executive Board Election. In April 2021, members will vote for the ILA Vice-President\/President-elect and for five Executive Board positions: 2 Public Library, 1 School Library, 1 Academic Library representative, and the ALA Councilor. These are three-year terms beginning July 2021 and ending June 2024.<\/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<\/strong>; 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. According to ILA bylaws<\/a>,\u00a0nominees selected to appear on the slate “must be members of ILA at the time of nomination;” that is, by the time the slate is finalized.<\/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 can be found on the ILA website<\/a>. For the 2021 election, skills especially needed include:\u00a0a 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 strategic plan.<\/p>\n The submission deadline is 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 23, 2020.<\/strong> To submit a nomination, complete the nomination form online.
