Hello PAMily,
Thank you to everyone who stepped forward to moderate sessions at MLA/SLA 2023 Detroit. As you can see from other items in this edition of the Bulletin, planning is moving along for our conference sessions. PAM will also be hosting a First and Last Night Dinner and a PAM Open House.
There are MANY committee vacancies within PAM. People are simply not stepping forward. PAM is still very much active despite all factors to the contrary. We cannot keep PAM running with the same handful of people coordinating everything from year to year.
I have already had to fill 2½ committees by begging the prior members to stick around another year. There are still many committee openings unfilled. If we do not get vacancies filled in Hospitality, Awards, and the already combined Membership/Mentoring Committee, the Board will have to consider what to cut this year.
Please email me right away if you are willing to serve on the Awards, Hospitality and/or Membership Committees. The Board will re-evaluate PAM activities at our March meeting. How important is PAM to you?
Thank you,
Lance
PAM President
