Council of Regional Groups
The Council of Regional Groups (CRG) is a unit of ALCTS intended to promote the specific interests of state organizations who wish to affiliate themselves with the association.
CRG has its own Executive Committee, which acts as its governing body and its own committee structure. CRG does not have independent standing from ALCTS, as ALCTS does not from ALA. CRG does not have individual membership as do the sections. The membership of CRG is constituted by the state and regional groups which align themselves with ALCTS.
For more on CRG, see the ALCTS Bylaws or go to the CRG section of our Web site by clicking the CRG icon at the top of this page.
From the ALCTS Bylaws:
Section 1. Composition. The Council of Regional Groups (CRG) is composed of the chair, the vice-chair/chair-elect, the past chair, the secretary, and the chairs, or substitute delegates of the state and regional groups affiliated with ALCTS (the Association).
Section 2. Purpose. The Council of Regional Groups serves as a means for information exchange between the Association and the regional groups and among the constituent groups. The CRG also encourages activities of the groups and considers common problems affecting their work.
Section 3. Affiliation. Any regional group with ten or more members, which has a focus of activity within the field of library collections and technical services, may be affiliated with the Association upon written petition from the group, submission of the group's bylaws, and approval by a majority vote of the ALCTS Board. The bylaws and activities of the petitioning group shall be consistent with those of the Association.
