Affiliates
91´«Ã½
Affiliate organizations of the 91´«Ã½ are legally separate organizations having purpose or interests similar to those of the Association.
Having found that close alliances provide strength in numbers and broaden the depth and scope of our work to support key issues in its Strategic Plan, 91´«Ã½ invites organizations to become 91´«Ã½ affiliates. Affiliating organizations work together to support common causes, expand outreach to underserved populations, diversify 91´«Ã½ membership, and provide benefits to all parties involved.
The 91´«Ã½ Governance Office maintains this list of the current 91´«Ã½ Affiliates. In order to maintain your information, please send updates to governance@ala.org
