The Nominations Committee is seeking candidates for the upcoming LLOPS Executive Board election.
The 2020- 2021 Nominations Committee is composed of chair Barbara Engstrom (King County Law Library) and Jonathan Franklin (UW Law School). Per the LLOPS Bylaws, the committee represents at least 2 types of law libraries. We would love to have a law firm member as well, let me know if you’d like to join us.
We are currently recruiting candidates for the positions of Vice-President/President Elect and Secretary. The duties of these positions can be found in the Chapter Manual on http://llops.org/
You many nominate yourself or a colleague you believe would be an asset to the chapter. We highly encourage self-nominations. Serving on the executive board of a professional organization such as LLOPS is a fantastic way to gain executive management experience that might not otherwise be available in your organization. It is a great way to fill leadership gaps in your resume.
The deadline for nominations is Friday, March 6 at 5pm.

Barbara
