[LM_NET] Gen: volunteer for a YALSA Committee

[Beth Yoke <byoke@ALA.ORG>]

Hello All,
Welcome back to those of you who just attended the ALA Annual Conference in 
Washington, D.C.  I know I had a wonderful time seeing many familiar faces, as well 
as meeting lots of new-to-YALSA people.  I hope you had the chance to do the same, 
and to attend some of our many programs.  You can read lots of different points of 
view of the conference and its programs on the YALSA blog ( 
http://blogs.ala.org/yalsa.php).

In the very near future I will begin the process of appointing people to the YALSA 
selection committees, e.g. Best Books for Young Adults, Popular Paperbacks, 
Selected Audiobooks, etc.  These committees will begin work in February 2008.  
After the ALA Midwinter Meeting in January 2008 I will begin appointments to our 
many process committees (e.g. Teen Read Week, Publishers' Liaison, Professional 
Development, etc).  

To be considered for appointment to a committee you must be a YALSA member and have 
a volunteer form on file.  If you think did one but aren't sure, did one last year, 
or have not yet done one, now is the time to get a nice new form submitted.  You 
can find it here:    http://www.ala.org/ala/yalsa/joinus/committeevolunteer.htm .  
Not sure what your options are for committees?  YALSA's webpage has all the 
information you need:   http://www.ala.org/ala/yalsa/aboutyalsab/yalsacommittee.htm 

I'm very excited about serving as your new Vice-President/President-Elect and 
welcome this new opportunity to connect with members!
