PLA Program Proposal Form

Available in Microsoft Word Format

Do you have an idea for an educational program at a PLA or ALA meeting? A model program you’d like to share? Speakers you think the PLA membership needs to hear? Submit a proposal to PLA! Speaking at a PLA or ALA meeting is an excellent way to share your expertise, meet other members, and help shape the future of your organization and profession. This is your opportunity to make sure PLA’s educational offerings cover topics librarians need to know while gaining valuable volunteer experience.

What do “Program Organizers” do?

The revised PLA Educational Program Proposal Form is now available. This form must be used to submit program ideas for PLA sessions and topics at:

  • ALA 2003 Annual Conference (Toronto, Ontario)
  • PLA Spring Symposia
  • other exciting PLA events such as regional continuing education events and new programs

General program ideas can be accepted at any time.

All program proposals are reviewed by PLA member leaders, and each program organizer will be notified of their decision to schedule, revise or decline the program.

Hard copies can also be requested by calling the PLA office at 800/545-2433, ext 5PLA.
