    4. Advance the profession
    5. Give back to the profession
    6. Be a part of something bigger
In order to align with ALISE's commitment to broad representation of our membership on committees, we welcome volunteers from all areas: doctoral students, new and tenured faculty, and part-time/adjunct faculty.
