ALA Organizational Structure & Decision Making Process

Part of the American Library Association's Financial Learning Series

This is a Budget Analysis and Review Committee (BARC) and ALA Finance staff webcast. The purpose of this webcast is to provide you with a basic level of understanding with respect to how the finances and resources of the Association are managed and the process that makes that happen. Even more important is to illustrate how interconnected each area of the Association is to one another. We are one Association.

Here we will discuss ALA’s organizational structure and decision making process. It is important to have a basic grounding as to who is responsible for what, how decisions are made and how you as a member, member leader or as an interested party can provide valuable input in the development and direction of the organization.

It is our hope that you will find this webcast informative.
