The FACRL Board

Look for the next opportunity to serve on the FACRL Board! FACRL strives to create a Board that represents all constituencies and regions. A call for nominations to serve on the Board goes out in early spring prior to the annual meeting of the Florida Library Association (FLA). The FACRL Board meets in person twice a year (if possible) in conjunction with the FACRL Annual Fall Program and the FLA Annual Conference. Board meetings take place online and are open to all who wish to attend. Come join us!
