[Libs-Or] Running for ALA Council or ALA President

[Diedre Conkling]

This is the last day to run as a petition candidate for ALA President or
ALA Council

If you send out a message here, on PUBLIB, or to other groups asking for
signatures you should be able to get enough signatures in an hour or two.

There are currently only five petition candidates for ALA Council and none
for ALA President.

You can also help a couple of the petition candidates get the 25 signatures
they need by going to http://www.ala.org/CFApps/epetition/index.cfm to sign
their petitions. You will need to login to be able to see the page.

You will find election information here:

Petition Candidates
Individuals who are not selected by the Nominating Committee may run for
office by petition. Members who are interested in running by petition may
do so by completing an e-petition form:

President-elect with the signatures of no fewer than 200 ALA current
personal members.
Councilor-at-Large with the signatures of no fewer than 25 ALA current
personal members.
Instructions for creating an e-petition click here. In addition to the
petition itself, members must complete the Petition Candidate Biographical
Information Form. Once the petition process is completed, petition
candidates and nominated candidates are treated exactly the same. They are
not differentiated on the ballot because they are on equal footing and are
all viable candidates for these positions.

The petition period for the 2020 election will close on December 4, 2019.
