ALIA has formed five subcommittees to implement key aspects of the vision of the organization. These are:
- Technology & Information,
- Events & Activities,
- Governance, Best practices & International Relations,
- Membership, and
- Professional Development.
These subcommittees provide the working foundation of the organization, and therefore form the backbone of ALIA. Their importance cannot be overemphasized, so we encourage all ALIA members to become involved in one or more subcommittees.
All ALIA member companies can nominate one representative for each subcommittee. The representative does not necessarily have to be the official ALIA representative.
Guided by the ALIA Council, each subcommittee aims to meet virtually every quarter to review and plan their respective activities and to meet face-to-face once a year during the ALIA Annual Meeting. Each subcommittee will present its activities before the general membership during the Annual Meeting.
