Summary:Whether you are a new member or have been a member for years and are thinking about how to best be involved with YALSA, there are options for everyone. YALSA offers a variety of paths to involvement. Getting involved in YALSA doesn't take knowing a secret handshake or a complex process. All you have to do is apply! I applied for the member manager of the YALSAblog position and got it, and that kicked off my long-term involvement with YALSA. There are also a variety of leadership positions available. You can apply to be the member manager for the two blogs, YALSAblog and The Hub, and the Program HQ when they are available. You can volunteer to chair a committee, jury, advisory board or taskforce. Or, if you are interested in governance, talk to members of the board development committee about running for a spot on the board.
