Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is the chief governance body of CARL, responsible to the membership at large, and with formal legal responsibility for the organization. All other CARL committees are formally advisory to the Board.

The elected members of the CARL Board of Directors are all directors of member libraries. The Vice-President automatically becomes President at the end of the current President’s term. Regional representatives are formally elected by all CARL members. New terms normally commence at the end of an annual general meeting, usually held in the spring. E-mail links are provided below; full contact information can be found on our Members page.

The President and the Executive Director are the spokespersons for the Association of first resort. The Executive Director manages the operations of the Association and reports to the Board.
