MLA needs you. MLA has a membership of nearly 3,500 people with diverse skills and knowledge. So put these things to work helping out the organization and join a committee. Working on a committee can help you develop leadership skills, promote your ideas, establish relationships, learn, build your resume, help justify funding for meeting attendance, and earn some AHIP points.

Any current MLA member can apply for a committee appointment. The current list of available positions is at http://www.mlanet.org/members/directory/committee and you can submit an application online at http://www.mlanet/org/members/comappf.html.

For more information about joining a committee go to http://www.mlanet.org/about/leaders/comminfo.html

On a personal note, I am currently on two committees and I have found it to be a very valuable experience. I am meeting new people and learning a lot.
