Purpose and Objectives
The Membership Committee is composed of a chair, an assistant chair, several at-large members, and a representative from each of the six regional chapters. The committee designs the annual membership campaign to include all types of libraries. The regional chapter representatives to the membership committee work to identify recruitment officers in every library within each chapter. The committee works in conjunction with other unit coordinators and chairs to publicize OLC and its activities.
Goal 1: To effectively retain established members of OLC.
Objective 1.1: Find new ways to enhance communication with current and potential members.
Objective 1.2: Use social media network sites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr as a means to communicate with current membership and to extol the benefits of OLC membership.
Objective 1.3: Support the effectiveness of Local Recruitment Officers (LROs) in 2011.
Objective 1.4: To work collaboratively with staff on programs in the OLC office and with other units.
Objective 1.5: Plan for a "call to action" roll-out.
Goal 2: To recruit new members to OLC with an emphasis on current staff and students.
