<p class="MsoNormal">Hello academic librarians! <br>
<br>
WLA is asking each division to nominate 1-2 members interested in serving on a new WLA Legislative Committee. Responsibilities would include:
<br>
<br>
- Attend regularly scheduled WLA Legislative Committee meetings (mostly online via Zoom)<br>
<br>
- Communicate legislative priorities to represented division <br>
<br>
- Assist with WLA Legislative Day (date TBD) to ensure position papers/statements are correct<br>
<br>
- Regularly review identified bills, ensure WLA and represented divisions have the right positions, make recommendations accordingly
<br>
<br>
- Review weekly legislative reports provided by Carolyn Logue and respond if requested.
<br>
<br>
- Assist in the review of appropriate amendments and help make sure we are “testimony” ready if necessary.
<br>
<br>
- Provide Carolyn with pertinent information in the event she is the one testifying
<br>
<br>
- Willingness to testify or readily identify representative who can (if needed — won’t happen often)<br>
<br>
If this is something that appeals to you, please get in touch, and I would be happy to put your name forward.
<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
<br>
Ahniwa Ferrari<br>
Academic Division Chair, 2016-2017<br>
