Play an active part in achieving CLA's goals. Serve on a committee or task force, and provide new ideas and new ways to ensure that CLA remains a strong organization.
Most committees meet two or three times a year.
Increasingly, committees transact their business utilizing technologies such as video-teleconferencing, email, conference calls and fax. Task forces focus on more topical issues and are created as needed. Committees try to alternate meeting locations between north and south, or meet in subcommittees regionally. The association has a limited budget for travel and can reimburse 50 percent of travel until those funds are depleted. As you consider volunteering for a committee or task force, please understand that your commitment to regular attendance and active participation in the work of the group is extremely important and is what will insure the success of the group in meeting its charge.
