Resources for Committees, Juries, and Taskforces

Tools to Facilitate the Work of your Group

  • Use the workspace and networking opportunities on ALA Connect, an online resource from ALA. ALA Connect is useful if you would like to keep a calendar of tasks (accessible to all members) that your group needs to accomplish, if you want to have real-time text chats to talk about your work, if you want to share documents, or if you would like to have threaded discussion on a topic. To access ALA Connect, log in using your ALA login and password.
    • Need a space for your committee on ALA Connect? Contact Membership and Marketing Specialist Gavin Damore at gdamore@ala.org
  • If your group needs to meet via conference call or an e-meeting (via a video conferencing platform), please contact Membership and Marketing Specialist Gavin Damore at gdamore@ala.org to set up a Zoom meeting
  • To schedule a face-to-face meeting of your group at an ALA Annual Conference, contact Maggie Reagan, YALSA’s Program Officer, at mreagan@ala.org
