There has never been a better time to serve

I want to report that Upsilon Lambda Chapter has begun to set up the structure that will harness the dedication of its members to fulfill its mission: to serve, to be intentionally global, to build knowledge resources, and to develop leadership.

The three standing committees are the Leadership Succession Committee, the Governance Committee, and The Program Committee.

The Leadership Succession Committee (Alex Paul-Simon, Sheila Davis, and Derek Lichter)  is receiving nominations now for those of you who would like to serve the chapter.
There are many opportunities:

• Interested in being on the ground floor of this Chapter as we build an international service-ready organization? Join the Board, if not as an Officer put your name in as a non-officer board member.
• Do you like to travel? Let's build an international clinical practice program join the Global Outreach Committee.
• Are you a news junkie, former journalist? Join the publicity and news committee. Into organizational development? Help us develop Chapter Programs presenting practice and academic innovation twice yearly.
• Historian, Archaeologist or former Research Librarian? become part of the Chapter Heritage & Archiving committee.
• Do you like giving out awards? Join the Chapter Awards for research, scholarship, innovation, technology and collaboration.
• Can you fund raise? Do you understand how money works? Help us develop Chapter Philanthropy,
• Concerned about the health of the planet and the link between it and our health? Join and develop what I call the Wise Earth Service Program.

Elections are around the corner. Elected positions are the Officers: President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and the Chair of the Leadership and Governance committees and the Faculty Counselor.  All the rest are non-elected participatory committees.

I am inviting you to serve. Send your name and intention to me and I will contact you.
There has never been a better time.

Robert Wall, President.
