To be effective, PLA must have committed, active, and able committee members. Appointments begin after the Midwinter Meeting and are made by the division Vice-Presidents and the cluster steering committee Vice-Chairs for 1- or 2-year terms, which begin following the Annual Conference. Please mail your completed volunteer form to PLA, 50 East Huron Street, Chicago, IL 60611 (fax: 312-280-5029). Committee Volunteer forms are accepted all year; however if you would like the fullest consideration of your first choice of committees, the form should be turned in by March 1. Photocopies of your form will be sent to appropriate appointing officers for consideration. Feel free to call the PLA office (1-800-545-2433, ext. 5PLA) for more information.
