2023 ALAO Election Nomination Form
Thank you for nominating yourself or a colleague for a position on the ALAO Executive Board! Remember that you must be an ALAO member in order to run for office and to vote, so this is a perfect time to join or renew. Additionally, no member of the Executive Board, elected or appointed, may serve in more than one position simultaneously without formal approval from the board.

What does the ALAO Board do?
The Ohio chapter of ACRL has a mission of advancing academic library services in our state and providing opportunities for education and growth for library personnel at all levels and at every career stage. We sponsor an annual conference and spring workshops that focus on innovative topics and showcase Ohio academic librarians; we provide scholarships and awards; and we maintain several active, diverse interest groups and committees. In addition, we have an active mentoring program that pairs Ohio academic librarians for peer, intergenerational, leadership, or student mentoring relationships.

What are the responsibilities of an ALAO Board member?
  1. Perform the duties described for your elected position (see the ALAO Procedures Manual for the specific duties and responsibilities of each position).
  2. Attend the annual Board Retreat (usually third Friday of July).
  3. Attend scheduled Board meetings (announced at Board Retreat).
  4. The President is required to be a current member of ACRL; financial assistance is available.  ACRL membership is not required in order to be on the ballot, or to serve as Vice President/President Elect.
In 2023, we will be electing the following officers:
  • Vice President/President Elect
  • Public Relations Coordinator
  • Board Member-at-Large (3 positions)
The deadline for submitting your nomination is Friday, February 17th.

Please direct any questions about these positions or the election process to the Nominations Committee Co-Chairs, Jerry Natal or Laura Birkenhauer.
