OLA Election Results

It is my pleasure to announce the results of the Oregon Library Association 2023 elections.  We had an outstanding pool of candidates, and I would like to thank each of them for their service to OLA by running for office.



OLA's incoming Vice President/President-elect is Ericka Brunson-Rochette from Deschutes Public Library.  This is a three year term and Ericka's presidential year will be 2024-2025.



OLA's incoming Treasurer is Stuart Levy from Parkrose High School in Portland   This is a two year term.



OLA's incoming Secretary is Roxanne Renteria from Deschutes Public Library. This is a one year term.



Please join me in congratulating OLA's incoming board members, who begin their terms on September 1.



In addition, the following amendments to the OLA Bylaws<https://www.olaweb.org/bylaws-policies> were approved by membership. Specific language of each of these bylaws changes<https://ola.memberclicks.net/assets/Elections/Elections_2023/OLA%20bylaws%20amendments%20%5B2023-04%5D%2C%20Markup%20copy.pdf> can be found on the OLA website.

  *   Allow for one candidate for Executive Board positions in extenuating circumstances;
  *   Allow Divisions to appoint someone other than their Chair as representative to the Executive Board;
  *   Add a voting representative from the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Antiracism Committee to the Executive Board;
  *   Allow people who are not OLA members to serve on committees if those individuals bring a perspective that would aid in the committee's work;
  *   Create the OLA Quarterly Editorial Board;
  *   Apply various technical and language fixes to the bylaws.

There are many ways to get involved in OLA. Please reach out if you are interested in becoming more active!
