 SLA Committees: Thanks to Outgoing Committee Members and an Invitation to New Members

Committee work is significant in accomplishing the objectives of SLA. It is an excellent way to engage in matters that are important to the library community, and provides members with an avenue to make new contacts and have a new experience.

Many thanks to the work of committee members during 2019-20! Your time, expertise and commitment are critical to supporting the mandate of SLA and the Saskatchewan library community. It was an active year and your contributions are much appreciated. 

Committee work is now in transition and we are looking for new committee members.  If you are interested in serving on any of the SLA committees please contact Dorothea Warren at slaexdir@sasktel.net  indicating your interest. Information on the committees and descriptions of committee roles can be found  here .

Thank you in advance for considering committee participation. We plan on having committees meet and begin their work in early fall. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
