Initiatives
"What Our Members Are Saying" ARLIS/NA Web Site Feature
Purpose:
The Membership Committee is seeking to gather written statements, or testimonials, on how membership in our professional society, the Art Libraries Society of North America, has been of value and benefit to its members. Statements are posted on the ARLIS/NA website in the "What Our Members Are Saying" section. Sharing the statements with others serves to attract new members as well as to highlight current membership diversity and variety in our work settings.
Guidelines:
- Only current ARLIS/NA members may be showcased.
- When scheduling features, attempt to highlight the diversity of members and of our work settings. Diversity is interpreted broadly, including geographic, ethnic, cultural, gender, age, length of one's career, type of job responsibilities, work setting, membership category (student members, business members, representatives of institutional members), etc.
- In addition to featuring members who volunteer to participate in this project ("first come, first served"), the "What Our Members Are Saying" Features Editor(s) will solicit contributions from members.
- Attempt to feature a member from the host chapter during the annual conference.
- Current Board Members are not featured, but attempts are made to include previous Board members.
- Business members are not featured during the annual conference when many business members participate as conference exhibitors. Business members may be featured at other times of the year, with emphasis on why membership in ARLIS/NA is important to the individual personally rather than to their business.
- Employees of the ARLIS/NA Headquarters management firm may be featured if they are members of ARLIS/NA.
- Current Membership Committee Members are not featured while they serve on the committee.
- Attempt to feature a new member every other month (aim to mount six new spotlights per year).
