Your SIS Needs You Now!!

Michael J. Slinger
Vice Chair/Chair Elect ALL-SIS

Working on an ALL-SIS committee is a wonderful way to make your mark on AALL. You get to work with and learn from colleagues who share common interests and help to contribute to the area of academic law librarianship that interests you.

Our SIS is only as strong as the membership makes it. We need your help to staff the SIS Committees, all of which serve as the working heart of our organization. Please help the ALL-SIS during the coming 2005 - 2006 academic year by volunteering for Committee assignments. If you have current Committee assignment(s), please let me know if you would like to continue to serve ALL-SIS in your current role, or if you would prefer to have a new Committee assignment for the coming year. Members of last years Committees should be aware that reappointments are not automatic. We do sincerely appreciate the work that all of our members do on our Committees, however, in order to give new Committee members an opportunity to serve I will be appointing some new members to committees especially in cases where Committee members have already served for more than one year.

Whether you are new to the SIS or the profession, or you just never got around to volunteering before, I hope you will consider submitting your preferences! We want to be known as the SIS that takes full advantage of the tremendous creative talent and energy of our members. Don’t be surprised if I hear about your talents and call you even if you don’t respond!

For information about the charges of each committee over the last year see:  www.aallnet.org/sis/allsis/committees/charges/index.html.
