ALAO welcomed 67 new members at its annual conference on October 28, 2016. The new members, who joined ALAO since the 2015 annual conference, join a thriving community of 332 members, including 4 retiree and 19 student members.

As we reflect on the annual conference, we look with excitement to our spring interest group workshops. The annual conference and workshops, however, are just a portion of the benefits that come with an ALAO membership. As an ALAO member you are eligible to apply for grants and awards that support research, continuing education, diversity initiatives, and recognize excellence in the profession. Check out www.alaoweb.org or contact Katy Mathuews at mathuews@ohio.edu to learn more about the benefits of ALAO membership.
