"Welcome home" to a new community for former ALA members – ALA Alumni!

ALA is not an ordinary association and its role with its members has historically gone beyond what is typical for professional associations. The "ALA family" and community creates and involves ties that often don't exist in other organizations. To its members, ALA becomes a place to belong, to excel, to network, to learn, to create and to share. Lifelong friendships are formed and nurtured in ALA. All of those things can be indispensable in life and many former members, as they move on to other careers or retire, have told us they miss the ALA family and the ties they forged to the legal management profession and to other members.

ALA Alumni is a unique program within the Association – and within the world of associations in general – to help former members keep their ties with ALA, the profession and each other. It's a new branch on the family tree and a way to stay connected, both formally and informally.

If you are a former ALA member, you already possess most of the qualifications for joining ALA Alumni! Please check out the information in this special alumni Web site on joining – and on the sorts of programs, activities and resources that we are planning and developing to keep our alumni in the family.

Welcome home!
