The LITA National Forum was established as an annual event to take the place of LITA's occasional national conferences. This committee is planning the program for the 2000 LITA National Forum. The LITA Executive Committee serves as the steering committee for Forums with liaisons from other key program committees: the Program Planning Committee (PPC) and the Regional Institutes Committee (RIC). National Forum 2000 will be held in Portland, Oregon, November 2-5, 2000.
