ALA Ambassadors
For folks who haven’t heard, ALA started and will be continuing the ALA Ambassadors program at Annual 2008. I’ve been doing this since the last time we were in Chicago (2006?) and would encourage people interested in helping new conference attendees make the most of their first conference or two.
I’m squeaking in my two hour ALA Ambassador shift at the Membership Pavilion (on the Exhibits Floor) on Saturday right after Council I wraps up (~12:15). I’m not yet sure who the new conference-goers are who I’ll be contacting - I should know in a week or so.
If you’re a new conference attendee, feel free to stop me in the halls — not that you’ll likely recognize me.
If you’re not a new conference attendee, please consider signing up as a potential ALA Ambassador next year. I’m told 200+ conference-experienced people signed up for Anaheim & there is a waiting list already started…
See you in Anaheim!
ALA Chicago was 2005. Prior Annual conference locations (and attendance) are on page 163 of the current ALA Handbook. (It is always the last page before the index of persons included.)
