Here’s your chance! We’re currently looking for volunteers for the following?committees:<\/p>\n

These committees are all virtual, so you don’t need to worry about budgeting to travel in order to make a difference.<\/p>\n

Appointments begin at the end of ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans (2018) and are two year appointments,?with the option to volunteer again.<\/p>\n

More detailed information on each committee can be found on the GLBTRT Committees page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To volunteer, log in to the ALA website and go to the GLBTRT’s Committee Volunteer Form page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are also seeking locals who can assist in planning the Socials at the following conferences:<\/p>\n

2019:

If you are lucky enough to live or have great contacts in one or nearby one of these fabulous locations, your help in planning the socials would be very much appreciated.<\/p>\n

Please note: the call for volunteers for the Stonewall Book Awards Committees, Over the Rainbow Book List, and Rainbow Book List typically happens after the ALA Annual conference. There will be a separate call for volunteers for those committees then.<\/p>\n
