Hello RUSA Members,
I invite you to volunteer for one of RUSA’s committees or a section committee.
There are so many ways to get engaged and serve our community of over 3,000 members. Check out the RUSA committee list or look for committees under RUSA Sections. Volunteers must be RUSA members. We need people with many different talents and interests.
To volunteer:
- Login to ALA
- Visit the Committee Volunteer Form page
- Change drop down menu option to “RUSA”
- Fill out the form about yourself and your current ALA responsibilities;
- Again, be sure the drop down at the bottom is set to “RUSA” or to a section.
You’re in!
You may also email me, Chris LeBeau, lebeauc@umkc.edu, and tell me about your experience and what you would like to do. Likewise, feel free to contact section vice-chairs to express your interest:
BRASS: Louise M. Feldmann, Louise.Feldmann@colostate.edu

For book lover volunteers
Many members are interested in serving on the Notable Books Council. The number of volunteers far outnumbers the slots for this committee. As an alternative consider our Listen List, the Reading List, the Sophie Brody award, and all the other awards on our RUSA Awards page. All provide excellent experience in book reviewing.
Thank you again to all our current, past and future volunteers – you are truly what makes RUSA such a wonderful place to belong! We couldn’t do it without you.
Thank you in advance,
Chris LeBeau
RUSA VP/President-Elect
