Each department shall designate one official representative to attend the Virtual Pre-Convention Committee Meetings. The official representative does not need to be a delegate or alternate; however, only those official representatives who are convention delegates/alternates will be allowed to vote in the virtual pre-convention committee meetings.
Departments shall designate their official representative via an online form provided by ALA National Headquarters.
Any member may attend the Virtual Pre-Convention Committee Meetings. Recordings will be posted for 90 days after the meeting on the ALA website. Members should sign up using the online form above.
