2026 MiALA Nominations are open

Hello MiALA,

MiALA is now accepting nominations for open Board and IGCC positions. Leadership takes many forms in MiALA and there are many service opportunities available.

Why serve in a leadership role in MiALA? Because service with MiALA:
Can count toward professional service, tenure, or continuing appointment requirements at your institution;
Establishes an active professional network with colleagues from other institutions;
Promotes academic librarianship through collaboration and communication.
We encourage self-nominations and nominations of those who you think would serve MiALA well! Newly-elected positions will begin service on July 1, 2026.

Vice President/President-Elect (three year term)
Treasurer (two year term)
Publicly Funded University Representative (two year term)
