2014 Concern- Promoting Affiliates

Concern: TASL is concerned that, although much time is spent discussing how ALA/AASL can assist affiliates and vice-versa, it seems very little tangible action is taken to strengthen those bonds.

Action Requested: Request AASL create a link on AASL home page to an alphabetized list of state affiliates displaying links to the affiliates’ membership page. Through the affiliation process, state affiliates would agree to display a link to "Membership in AASL" page. AASL will generate a list of expectations for state affiliates to promote involvement in AASL including the limited use of AASL logos on affiliates' websites.

Status: Both the Affiliate Assembly Coordinating Team and the Affiliate Assembly body approved this concern. It was sent to the AASL Board.
