Liaisons to Other Committees, 1948-2004
Committees were formed to train members of MLA to become liaisons for other musical organizations and library groups. Among these organizations are groups such as the ALA, ARSC, Film Music Society, and Public Library Association. As noted in a February 2000 correspondence from Paula Matthews, former MLA President, the charge to liaison committees is to:
"foster informal affiliations with professional musical, scholarly, and library organizations whose interests and activities correlate with those of MLA; to coordinate and train members of MLA who are active in other organizations to effectively bring information about MLA to other groups and to communicate news of those groups' activities to the membership of MLA; and to develop and maintain structures for communication and reporting between liaison organizations and the MLA." (235-MLA)
