Professional Issues & Ethics Committee

Printer-friendly version

 In its report dated June 2009 and presented to Council at Annual Assembly in July, the Transforming TLA Structure Task Force recommended that five existing TLA committees be merged to create one new "super-committee." Those five committees were: Continuing Education, Cultural Diversity, Membership, Professional Recruitment and Retention, and Professional Rights and Responsibilities. The new Professional Issues and Ethics Committee, or P.I.E. Committee, was established by Council at the annual conference in April 2010.

TLA Executive Director Pat Smith summarized the role of the new committee in this way: to promote professional issues and ethics and to focus on how to educate Texas librarians about ethics issues.
