The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) Nominating Committee, in accordance with their charge per the bylaws is tasked with evaluating applicants and nominating candidates to be elected by the Voting Members to the Board of Directors. The Committee meets virtually, typically once in the fall and twice in the spring; the President of CRL and another member of the Board serve in an ex officio capacity in non-voting roles to provide relevant support to the Committee. CRL calls for expressions of interest by member representatives to fill three positions for a two-year term on the Nominating Committee beginning on September 15, 2025.
The members and Chair of the Nominating Committee are appointed by the CRL Board of Directors. The Board will review the names submitted and create Nominating Committee service appointments that tap the diverse set of perspectives, expertise and institutional contexts reflected across the CRL community. Because this is the first call after a bylaws revision, we are seeking some members willing to serve only 1-year terms to establish staggered terms.
To be considered for appointment to the CRL Nominating Committee, please submit the form linked here by August 29, 2025. Questions? Please contact CRL Membership at membership@crl.edu
