11) Additional information (optional): | I graciously accept the nomination for the position of APRALO Chair. As a person who works with people and representing the interest of end users for over a decade, along with my experience as Vice Chair and in the past as a delegate from APRALO in Nominating Committee, I have developed a reasonable understanding of the opportunities and challenges which APRALO faces today. APRALO today faces the challenge of reduced participation and engagement of our members especially post the pandemic, less participation of new people in the policy development processes, and a ready pool of potential next to next generation leaders for APRALO. All these and more issues need to be addressed so that APRALO continues to be relevant for end users. If selected by the community for the role of APRALO Chair, I would attempt to focus on trying to re-engage the community more in the APRALO and At Large process which in the last two years has reduced; further enhance the engagement and communication with the ALSes and individual members by keeping them more informed on the various initiatives; support to build a pool of next generation leaders in APRALO which I feel is very essential; and support the APRALO community and At large leadership on the initiatives and policy efforts wherever appropriate. |
