New Conference Attendance Policy

In recognition of the fact that much of the Instruction Section’s work can be conducted virtually, the Section is transitioning to a new conference attendance policy for committee members and chairs. Beginning with the 2014 ALA Annual Conference, there will be no conference attendance requirement for all but three committees. The following committees will continue to meet as indicated below:

• Local Arrangements – attendance required at the conference where they are hosting the Soiree.
• Conference Program Planning – attendance required at the Annual conference during the year they host the program.
• Discussion Group Steering Committee – attendance required at Annual conference.
