IAML Board

Twenty-eight members accepted the Board’s invitation to the online event IAML Members Meet the New Board on 6 December 2023. We had a very fruitful meeting, elegantly moderated by Houman Behzadi. Houman referred to the IAML Strategic Intentions, originally formulated by Past President Stanisław Hrabia in 2019, that still serve as a guide for the Board and the National Representatives, as well as a source of inspiration for IAML’s members.

The elections were for President with a six-year term (one year as president-elect, three years as president, and two years as past president), and for four vice-presidents with a term of three years each.

The new IAML Board will take up office after the 2023 General Assembly at Cambridge.

The IAML Board had its annual midterm meeting in Munich on 9-10 February. The meeting took place in the Bavarian State Library (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek), the workplace of Vice President Jürgen Diet, who prepared two very nice days for us.

The IAML Board stands in solidarity with all IAML members and other library associations who have expressed their concern for the protection of universal human rights. We particularly wish to convey our support for the MLA’s recent “Statement Opposing Racism and Police Brutality” and the statement by the IFLA President and Secretary General, “Racism Has No Place in the Society Libraries are Working to Build”.
