ITLS Committee Cycle 2020-2021 Application Now Open

Are you interested in getting more involved with ITLS? Apply to serve on a committee!

Committee applications are due October 15, 2020. You will receive notification of committee appointments no later than October 30, 2020.

All committee members with a current committee appointment have had their terms extended by 1 year due to delays resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. If you wish to resign from your current committee, please respond to the email you received from your staff liaison.

Because all terms have been extended, very few new appointments will be made for the 2020-2021 cycle and open committees are limited to Bylaws, Communications, Conference Planning, and Nominations.

For this reason, new applicants are limited to selecting one choice for possible appointment. All committee appointments will be for a 2-year term. Placement is at the discretion of the ITLS Board of Directors and Committee Chairs and Co-Chairs.
