Next year you can run as petition candidate. It requires a few signatures and you are on the ballot in all your glory! You would not be one nominated by the MAN, but rather by the people. A few years ago Mitch Freeman won this way and he was great!

Note to ALA Junkie, this isn’t the case. The voting is all done online now. I just thought we should be clear on that.

Good God, we are a humorless bunch.

“Read the bylaws. You need signatures from twenty-five (yes, 25) members to get on the ballot for either Council or ALA President. They need to be turned in by January 30. I generally enjoy reading AL, but this one was incredibly stupid and mis/un-informed.”

I went from ala carte to ALA Card.

Have a nice day.

If I want to be president, I should be able to be. If not, I will stamp my widdle feet and then blog about how terrible things are.
