ALAO Legislative Advocate Network

All ALAO members are eligible to be members of the ALAO Legislative Advocate Network. Advocates serve as grassroots supporters and voices for specific legislative issues of importance to academic libraries and librarians.

Activities may include:

• Monitor email messages from the ALAO Government Relations Team and respond to "Legislative Alerts" which call members to action. This may involve a letter, phone call, fax or e-mail message to one or more legislators.
• Inform colleagues about legislative alerts and encourage them to participate in contacting legislators
• Share stories or successes about your library with the ALA Washington office.
• Participate in ALA's Legislative Day by applying for the ALAO Legislative Advocate Travel Award
