Please Note: NYLA is beginning the process of appointing three-year term NYLA Section Representatives to align with our updated Bylaws. We have provided the following rotational schedule to ensure we have representatives on the Council who always have a level of institutional knowledge every year.
See below the rotational schedule to introduce three-year terms for NYLA Section Representatives. If a NYLA Section was not appointing a three-year termed Councilor, they appointed a one-year term Councilor.
NYLA Section Representative Three-Year Term Appointment Schedule
Nov 2023 - Nov 2026
