Sections establish standing committees according to their bylaws.
The ALA Handbook of Organization, published each year and distributed to all ALA members, lists all committee membership and identifies the functions and responsibilities of the various ALA units . When establishing a committee, care should be taken not to usurp the jurisdiction held by another ALA division. Committee chairs who have served a one-year term may be reappointed. The vice-president consults with the current committee chair in appointing a successor. Since it is important that the chair be knowledgeable about the responsibilities and concerns of the committee, it is suggested that the committee chair be selected from the existing committee membership.
