Board Elections 2023
Voting OPENS on 27 February 2023
This year ALIA members are electing 3 positions to the ALIA Board
- President
- Two General Directors
The successful candidates will take office following our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Tuesday 30 May 2023 and serve on the Board for three years.
They will be part of a seven-member Board comprising the President, Institutional Director and five general Directors. The Board will appoint one of their members to serve as the Vice President.
What does being a Director involve?
As a Board member you will help shape ALIA's future direction. You
will bring your knowledge, skills and experience to the table to provide
strategic guidance to ensure ALIA’s long-term sustainability. You will
be responsible for setting the core activities of ALIA, for reflecting
the views of Members and for strong governance, risk and financial
management.
Being a Director provides a unique opportunity to make
a significant contribution to the library and information sector and
ensure that your professional association is one that you will continue
to be proud of.
The Board meets approximately four times a year.
In 2022 we anticipate that these will be a combination of online and
in-person meetings. Generally, the in-person meetings are held in
Canberra at ALIA House.
