Additional Relevant Experience/Interests/Skills:

Some committees have appointments as an intern, which allows for an extra committee member. Interns are RUSA members who have never served on any RUSA committees. Would you be willing to serve as an intern for one year, with full committee membership and privileges if you cannot be appointed as a full member of a MARS Committee? Interns are eligible for appointment as full committee members, after their internship year.
Yes No

Some committees also have virtual members, for those individuals who are not able to travel to conferences. Normally, committee members need to attend both the Midwinter and Annual Conferences in order to serve on committees. Would you need or prefer a Virtual Membership?
Need Pefer

Would you be willing to work on a virtual committee even if you do plan on attending the Midwinter and Annual Conferences?
Yes No
