Organizational Liaisons



Purpose:
To foster informal affiliations with professional musical, scholarly, and library organizations whose interests and activities correlate with those of MLA; to coordinate and train members of MLA who are active in other organizations to effectively bring information about MLA to other groups and to communicate news of those groups’ activities to the membership of MLA; and to develop and maintain structures for communication and reporting between liaison organizations and MLA. The committee also works with the Board and the President to coordinate communication between MLA’s official representatives to ALA and NISO and the MLA membership.
