2026 ACRL Board of Directors Nomination Form

The ACRL Leadership Recruitment and Nomination Committee (LRNC) welcomes your nominations for elected officers to the ACRL Board of Directors.

Please use this form to submit candidate recommendations for the next ACRL Board ballot. You may submit as many names as you like. If you submit multiple names, please complete this form for each recommendation.

We seek Board members who can offer visionary leadership and a broad perspective of librarianship. It is not a requirement that members of the Board be library directors or deans to be eligible to serve on the Board. If you would like to view current roles and responsibilities for ACRL Board members, please visit the ACRL Guide to Policies and Procedures.

Please keep in mind that submitting a nominee to the LRNC in no way guarantees that the person will be asked to run for office. Please refrain from telling nominees that they will be contacted, as the LRNC makes the final decision regarding which candidates will be asked to run.

Deadline: Please submit your nominations by February 15, 2025.
