As part of a Service Team, you’ll also enhance your ALA and ALAMN membership in many ways:

• have a voice in the decisions that the committees make
• contribute to projects that improve the chapter’s operations
• connect with your fellow members on a deeper level

Get involved today by contacting the chair or co-chair of a Service Team!  Not sure which one is right for you?  Feel free to attend several different meetings before deciding.  Here’s where you can get involved:
