The WAPL subcommittee is looking for volunteers in many areas.
We are also looking to fill chair or co-chair positions for the committees listed below:
- Conference Committee Chair
- Local Arrangements Chair (Bridges Library System)
- Conference Partnerships Chair
- Programming Chair
- Program Booklet Chair
- Publicity Chair
- Registration Chair
- Technology/Equipment Coordinator
- Book Signing Chair - Anna Zook (Eau Claire library)
If you or someone you know is interested and willing to fill one of the chair positions or volunteer for one of the committees, please reach out to WAPL Chair David Kranz or the past WAPL Conference Chair, Teresa Schmidt by Monday, January 17, 2022.
Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing everyone in the spring. Wishing you all a joyous 2022!
