Greetings from the MLA Children’s and YA Lit Forum Executive Committee!

Our committee will be meeting online this year directly following the MLA Convention (Jan 4-7).

At the meeting, we will be considering nominations for the Executive Committee as well as session proposals for MLA 2025 in New Orleans (Jan 9-12).

So we can ensure representation from across our field of children’s and YA literature, we encourage you to self-nominate for service on the Forum’s Executive Committee and/or to propose a session for MLA 2025.

Self-Nomination Form for Exec Committee: https://tinyurl.com/mlachildlitexecnom

MLA Session Proposal Form: https://tinyurl.com/mlachildlitpropose

Guidelines and restrictions for both opportunities are included at the links above. However, if you have questions after reviewing that information, you’re welcome to email me as the Committee’s outgoing Chair at westmank@ksu.edu.

Note: Self-nominations and proposals are due by **Monday Jan 8 at 11:59pm ET ** using the links provided above.

Finally, our MLA Forum has typically opened a part of our Forum meeting to colleagues not currently serving on the Executive Committee. For those who would like to join us, we are scheduled to meet on Weds Jan 10, 1:00pm ET / 12:00pm CT: register for the Zoom link at https://tinyurl.com/mlachildlitexec2024
