Congratulations to the 2023-2024 ALA Board of Directors and Chapter Resource Team
In November, the 2022 Nominating Committee convened in Chicago to determine the 2023-2024 ALA Board of Directors and the Chapter Resource Team (CRT).
These volunteer roles are vital to our Association. The ALA Board of Directors is responsible for establishing the vision, mission and goals of the Association as well as setting its strategic direction. Members of the CRT assist in the development of creative strategies that promote and educate members on the policies, programs and initiatives of ALA, including providing support and resources to chapters and their leaders. In addition to serving as mentors to chapters, team members serve as subject matter experts and they are interested in the further development of their own leadership skills.
The members that make up these groups are held in the highest regard and have been entrusted to guide ALA and the legal management profession into the future. Please join us in congratulating this extraordinary group of legal management professionals! These individuals will officially take office in May in Seattle at the Annual Conference & Expo.
