Potomac Region
Representation
Each region is represented with two votes on the Board of Directors by the Regional Director and the Regional Director-Elect. A term of office is 2 years. Each year a new Director-Elect is elected for each region by the general VAASL membership.
The main role of each position is to represent the librarians and interests of the region on the board. The Director coordinates the Regional Spring Conference and the Director-Elect coordinates the selection of the region's School Librarian of the Year. Each director contributes content through VAASL's communication channels. Interested in joining the VAASL Board of Directors? Nominate yourself or another person for your region's Director-Elect. The ballot slate is filled each spring by the VAASL Past-President. Additionally, each summer/fall, committees are filled for the following year by the Executive Board.
The next Potomac Spring Conference is scheduled for Saturday, March 9, 2024.
Local Affiliates
The Potomac Region has three local VAASL affiliates. Affiliates are groups of local librarians that organize to provide support for the librarians in their community.
Associated School Librarians of Fairfax County (ASLFC)
Loudoun Association of School Librarians (LASL)
