Every year FTF tries to put together a list of people running for ALA President and ALA Council based on their participation in various groups in ALA or affiliated with ALA.

First we would like to list the FTF members running for ALA Council:

Theresa Tobin
Diedre Conkling

We can’t endorse anyone for ALA President.  Both candidates came to FTF meetings at ALA Midwinter and gave impressive presentations and answered our questions fairly well.

Below are candidates for ALA Council. The information below was gathered from the biographical information supplied by each candidate that appears on the ALA Ballot.  Please carefully read full ballot information before voting.  These individuals are current or past members of:
