Annual Conference & Expo Planning Committee
Description: This committee will work with ALA staff and ACI (our third-party conference vendor) on marketing efforts and will comment on, influence and advise on the educational content and member experience for this premier event.

- Membership Development Committee (MDC)
- Product and Service Review Committee (PSRC)
- Professional Development Advisory Committee (PDAC)
The Board may also include the perspective of the NextGen/First Five community (individuals with five or fewer years in the legal management profession) if not already represented in the above.
