Why Run for ALA Council?

You have about two weeks to get yourself nominated to run for ALA Council for a 2007-2009 term.  Jenna Freedman, who just finished her first term gives some very compelling reasons why you should consider what many perceive to be a thankless, boring and pointless act of service.  I'm in agreement with her, and would be happy to talk to anyone who needs encouragement or more information.  I'll be submitting my petition for a second term at Midwinter in San Antonio.

I'm delighted that you are running.
From my experience, were there more raccoons-- and fewer pencil pushers-- running things, those things would be better, more creative and more fun with which to be associated.
I do understand that we need the pencil pushers, but their uses are limited to the boring and tedious.
