On this spring’s ballot you will find proposed changes to our Constitution and Bylaws which focus on three areas of organizational concern. The first section of proposed changes clarify the place of appointed positions, such as the Electronic Resources Manager and the Publicity Coordinator, and regularize the appointment process for these positions. The second section brings LIRT’s procedure for amending the Constitution and Bylaws in line with ALA procedures. The third section acknowledges long-standing practice, as detailed in the LIRT Manual, relating to the Immediate Past President, the Immediate Past Treasurer, and the appointment of committee members.
The Organization & Bylaws Committee have proposed these changes, and they have been approved by LIRT’s Executive Board. We encourage you to take the time to read and think about these issues when you receive your LIRT ballot this spring—and to vote.
