<p class="MsoNormal">I am working with United for Libraries as part of an ALA Emerging Leaders Team. We are working to both identify barriers to board service and to determine methods to encourage younger generations to library board service. We currently have
a survey out that has been shared through United for Libraries channel, and would greatly appreciate any help in sharing it with your own boards!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To fill out the survey, please visit <a href="http://www.ala.org/united/boardsurvey">
www.ala.org/united/boardsurvey</a>. The survey will be open through Saturday, May 19.<o:p></o:p></p>
