CFLA’s new Climate Action Committee is searching for members. We welcome self nominations
from interested individuals who are members of a CFLA/FCAB member association. Members must
be a member of at least one CFLA-FCAB member organization and will serve on the committee as
subject matter experts and not organization representatives. At largest this committee will have 10
members.
Members will be selected with the goal of representing across the Canadian Library landscape, both
geographically and across the profession with preference given to librarians with special interest or
credentials in environmental conservation and climate action.
Members selected to serve on the committee have a two-year term. If they would like to continue to
serve additional terms after those two years, they will have to respond to the annual call for
members and be selected for membership. There is no limit for consecutive terms as a member of
this committee. Half of the initial appointees will serve for one year for ease of continuance, please
note your preference in your application.
The Committee will normally meet monthly between September and June, with additional meetings
scheduled as required. Once the 2023/24 committee has been assembled, a meeting schedule will
be agreed upon. The Climate Action Committee is a working committee. All members are expected
to attend meetings and advance plenary activities.

membership status of a CLFA-FCAB member organization and nation affiliation if applicable.
