Congratulations to the Australians successful in the 2023 IFLA elections

Canberra, 2 May 2023: Last night the International Federation of Library Association (IFLA) published the results of the elections for positions on their Governing Board and on over 80 different committees. Those elected will take up their terms of office in August 2023. 

We wish to congratulate the Australian from our sector who have been elected to positions on the Asia-Oceania Regional Division Committee, as Professional Division Committee Chairs, and in the Professional Unit Sections and Special Interest Groups. These experienced sector leaders will be volunteering their time and significant expertise to help power the work of IFLA and represent Australia in the global library field.
