Past Presidents

The Past Presidents Committee is composed of the Utah Library Association’s past presidents for the purpose of perpetuating their institutional knowledge, experience, networking connections, and historical context of past decisions in the ULA Board. The committee chair provides this voice and knowledge as a non-voting member of the ULA Board and maintains updated contact information for the past presidents. The past presidents may be called upon to mentor other ULA officers and committees, and also ensure a pool of candidates for Immediate Past President Pro Tempore as per Article 12.E.6 of ULA Bylaws.
