Advocacy
Chapter Liaisons
| Chapter GRC Committee Contacts
This section of the Government Relations Committee (GRC) website contains
materials for grassroots level advocacy. The GRC and the AALL Washington Affairs
Office monitor federal legislation or regulatory activity and other issues
national in scope. The
Washington Affairs
Online website is the source of the Association's official national
level advocacy materials.
Apart from national level efforts, however, the GRC liaison for each AALL
chapter facilitates advocacy efforts that originate at the grassroots level.
Each member of the Government Relations Committee serves as a
liaison to one or more of AALL’s local chapters and Special Interest Sections (SISs).
The liaison promotes the work of the GRC and facilitates chapter and SIS level
advocacy concerning proposed laws or regulations affecting the law library
community (see Liaison
Guidelines).
These pages supplement the official national level advocacy materials. They
are an additional source of ideas, arguments, and useful facts for liaisons,
chapter/SIS government relations committees, and all other advocates concerned
with national and local legislative and regulatory issues affecting law
libraries. Collected here are samples of past presentations and useful
links relevant to library advocacy work. Individual GRC members created them or they
were created by the chapters/SISs themselves and came to the GRC's attention
through liaison work.
