NCIL’s complex structure of Governing Board Committees, Subcommittees, and Task Forces ensures that the tremendous amount of work we accomplish is truly grassroots and consumer controlled. We welcome NCIL members to become involved in the national IL Movement by joining a group that is currently seeking members.
- To join a committee, contact [email protected].
Most NCIL committees, subcommittees, and task forces (from this point forward referred to collectively as “committees”) have monthly calls, although some meet more or less frequently. Many of the committees also communicate via email to stay in touch and work on subcommittee tasks between calls. The required time commitment varies by committee; we recommend you reach out to the committee chair or NCIL staff member if you have questions about the requirements for a specific committee(s).
Accommodations are available to committee members by request. Please contact the Chair or NCIL staff member listed to request an accommodation.
