Onward/upward–one co-coordinator leaves, another steps up
Posted: March 28, 2012 Filed under: ArLiSNAP, ArLiSNAP Structure, Elections | Tags: ARLIS/NA 2012 Conference, arlisnap, leadership 3 Comments »As the time of the ARLIS/NA 2012 Conference in Toronto nears, that means (of course) that the time for a change of leadership in ArLiSNAP has arrived. It’s been a pleasure and an honor to help with this group over the past two years. I’m excited to remain a member, contribute my voice, and help ArLiSNAP work even harder for the people it represents.
The past year has seen ArLiSNAP made some important progress, though not all of it might have been immediately visible. At this time, we are currently waiting final approval from the president of ARLIS/NA to complete ArLiSNAP’s transition from Special Interest Group to official Section. This status will afford our membership a greater voice within the ARLIS/NA organization and further legitimize the importance of issues pertinent to students and young professionals within the community. 2009-2011 Co-Coordinator Bryan Loar was invaluable throughout this process, acting as liaison with ARLIS and shepherding our petition through lots of red tape. Our thanks to him for his continued dedication. In a similar vein, the ArLiSNAP website will soon be a part of the official ARLIS website. TEI and Chris Roper are currently working on this transfer of information now. Both of these measures will help magnify our group’s purpose a great deal.
Many discussions about how members can become more actively involved with ArLiSNAP also took place in the past year. A number of volunteer positions are in development. The coordinators of this group feel the most direct path to continued and increased success of ArLiSNAP lies in finding ways to reach out to more student organizations and regional ARLIS chapters, presenting more educational information and opportunities for students and young professionals, and connecting our members to the greater infrastructure of ARLIS. Opportunities for different liaison positions will be discussed at the ArLiSNAP meeting on Friday, March 30th at 4 p.m. Please make sure to be there so your voice can be heard.
With any transition, there are logistics to be minded. Statements of interest for the new co-moderator position are now being accepted. Submissions should be brief (a few sentences) and state some personal background info (school, work, passions) along with a bit of what you would bring to ArLiSNAP as a leader (ideas!). All those interested can simply post a comment on this blog entry! Comments on that entry will be open until midnight on Friday, April 6th. A poll will be created on April 7th and voting will be open for one week. The candidate with the most votes on April 13th will be named co-moderator for 2012-2014.
I very much wish that I could attend the conference this year but I know that Suzanne will do an excellent job leading the meeting. I really ask that you all be vocal, be creative, and don’t be afraid to take on new responsibilities (even though I know we’re all overworked and underpaid). The fuel of this group is volunteerism and foresight. I think that individually, we can all make a big difference for the entire group. Though I will no longer be coordinator, I will still contribute to this blog and to the development of ArLiSNAP’s future.
I hope to keep learning from all of you.
My thanks to everyone.

Please join me in welcoming Suzanne as Art Library Students and New ARLIS Professional (ArLiSNAP)’s next coordinator. Ms. Walsh will succeed Bryan Loar after his two-year term ends in March. With ArLiSNAP’s momentum building, Ms. Walsh and other current coordinator, Rosemary Davis, are poised to take the group to the next level.

Elections Extension?
Posted: April 14, 2008 Filed under: ArLiSNAP, Elections, Opportunities: Leadership Positions 3 Comments »Well, the plan was to hold elections this week via Survey Monkey. But, we’ve had a few questions about why elections are held before the meeting. Some folks feel like they’d like to participate in a meeting before jumping in as a new co-moderator.
So, before we open elections, Megan and I wanted to see if there was a general feeling as to whether we should put them off until May.
Here’s some food for thought:
- Putting elections off would make it possible for candidates to meet other members in Denver
- But, not all those interested in leadership will be able to make it to the annual conference
- One of the unique things about ArLiSNAP has been that all of our activity isn’t concentrated at the annual meeting, which makes us more accessible to students and young professionals who might not have support to travel to the conference.
Please post your thoughts in the next day or two so we can make a final decision on the possibility of delaying the election.
Read more about the election here (including the profile for our first fine candidate)! And if you’re still thinking of running, feel free to add your own profile!
