MLA Leaders
MLA Representatives to Allied Organizations
The Medical Library Association strives to be a significant and influential force in all decisions affecting the field of health sciences librarianship and biomedical information management. Central to this goal is a consociation with allied associations, agencies, networks, and organizations that share our concerns.
Many of these vital connections are maintained by MLA members, who may also serve as ex officio representatives and resources to MLA standing committees. In some allied organizations, MLA is represented by its membership through the joint sponsorship of meetings and participation in programs of mutual interest. These activities are not funded by MLA.
The representatives to these organizations outside the jurisdiction of MLA serve terms as required by the sponsoring organization or for a three-year term (parenthetical numbers below indicate number of years yet to serve). Appointments are reviewed annually. The duties of these representatives are
- to represent, interpret, and promote the interests of MLA
- to attend meetings of the allied organization
- to serve ex officio on the appropriate committees of MLA to facilitate communication between MLA and the allied organization
- to make recommendations through the appropriate MLA committee for action to be taken by the board of directors concerning activities of mutual interest to the allied organization and MLA
- to prepare and submit midyear and annual reports
