ALA Volunteering at Every Level
When Kris Oliveri, CLM, first moved to Canton, Ohio, there wasn't an ALA chapter and the closest one was about an hour away. Taking matters into her own hands, she pulled together current and prospective members in the area and started a chapter. This was one of the first steps that led her to becoming a chapter leader, and eventually, to winning one of three 2012 Outstanding Association Volunteer Awards. Learn more about Oliveri's experience as an ALA volunteer and how any member can follow in her footsteps.
