ALA National Headquarters continues to analyze results from the ALA member survey conducted earlier this year. Your answers are helping staff and volunteer leadership learn what the organization can do better at all levels. The 14,400 ALA members who engaged in the survey answered questions about the organization at national and local levels.
National Headquarters plans to continue seeking member feedback by sending more surveys in the future. It’s good to continually request feedback from members, and we definitely want to know what you think!
