Candidate for Director of Membership Services
Candidate’s Statement The ALISE membership includes faculty, administrators, doctoral students, and other interested individuals from diverse institutions. I appreciate this as I graduated from a research institution and have worked in a public university, and as I now work in a small, private institution. Furthermore, I am both a library educator and archives educator. As Director of Membership Services, I will be diligent in working with the President and the rest of the ALISE Board and the ALISE Executive Director to ensure that we reach all members in our communications and updates, and in gathering membership input and feedback. Any association, organization, or institution needs to improve at some level. As Director of Membership Services, I will be diligent in developing new or improve on current tools, resources, and services that will assist the Board in providing better services to all its diverse members.
