We’re thrilled to announce the Nominating Committee’s selections for the 2026 IMLS Board of Directors and Rules & Policies and New Technology committees! First, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who applied.

The response was absolutely incredible – your enthusiasm and willingness to step up for IMLS blew us away!

With only 5 BOD positions,16 spots on the Rules & Policies committee, and 15 spots on the New Technology committee to fill, choosing was tough (in the best possible way).

To everyone selected: congratulations – we can’t wait to see the fresh ideas and energy you’ll bring!

To those who weren’t chosen this time around: please don’t be discouraged! Your interest means the world to us, and we truly hope you’ll throw your hat in the ring again next year – we’d love to have you on board.

Welcome to the incoming 2026 IMLS Board and committee members, and thank you all for making our IMLS community so vibrant and engaged!
