Charge
Roster
Displaying active committee roster as of 06/08/2023. Last retrieved on 06/08/2023. Members can log in and refresh the page to view full contact information for committee members.
Composition
- The committee will be chaired by the immediate past-president of ACRL; have two members, with staggered terms, representing each type of library section with the committee members recommended by each section’s vice-chair/chair-elect; and have a member representing Chapters Council.
- Effort should be made to have geographic distribution across the committee membership.
- Since it is important that the vice-chair/chair be knowledgeable about the responsibilities and concerns of the committee, it is suggested that the committee vice-chair/chair be selected from the existing committee membership.
Specific Tasks
- Report decisions to the ACRL Executive Director and ACRL President before the close of the Midwinter Meeting.
- Annually report to the ACRL Board of Directors about the nomination process, quality of applicant pool, and any issues or concerns that need Board discussion.
