Composition

°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app

  • A minimum of five members (i.e. a chair, vice-chair, and three members). Suggested 10-12 members (including chair, vice-chair).
  • Chair serves as ex-officio representative to Conference Committee.
  • ACRL Vice-President/President-Elect serves as Board liaison.
  • Additional appointments at the discretion of the Vice-President/President-Elect and Appointments Committee

Origin

°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app

At the Annual Conference in 2005, the Professional Development Committee was transitioned into the Professional Development Coordinating Committee, an umbrella committee charged with coordinating the efforts of ACRL's professional development activities. In 2009, the committee charge was revised and new component committees established, including the Annual Conference Programs Committee, Midwinter Workshops and Annual Preconferences Committee, Scholarships Committee, and Virtual Institutes Committee. The Board also ended the Effective Practices Review Committee. As of June 30, 2012, the Board dissolved the component committee umbrella structure and changed the name to the Professional Development Committee.
