Chapter Council

The Chapter Council of the Medical Library Association is one of two councils serving in an advisory capacity to the Board of Directors of the Association. It promotes interchange among chapters, and, together with its counterpart, the Community Council, promotes interchange among caucuses and chapters and provides an opportunity for chapters to participate more directly in the governance of the Association through representation of their interests at the Board level. The Council also enables chapters to better define their role and function within

the Association through participation in a coordinated, unified representative body.

MLA Chapters follow Model Bylaws for Use by Chapters in compliance with the 2024 revised MLA Bylaws. Chapters also should follow these Step-by-Step Procedures for Revising Chapter Bylaws.
