Call for Summer Research Forum Committee Volunteers

We're looking to restart our Research Forum, and we need your help. We're seeking volunteers to serve on our ACRL-LA Research Forum Committee and help plan this summer's virtual forum. The good news for this year is we already have a suggested theme and dates (looking at July currently, possibly around the 26th ). The ACRL-LA president will also be an ex-officio part of this committee to help the newly reconstituted group plan and navigate any formalities and logistics required to pull off the event.
