Human Resources & Administration Forum (HRAF)

The Forum will represent the interests of those who are human resources professionals and administrative professionals in all types of libraries.

If you'll be attending the HRAF Unconference at the 2024 ILA Annual Conference on Thursday, Oct. 10, complete this form! The Unconference will be styled as "Kitchen Table Talks with an Insider" and we need your help selecting the top 4 topics.

This HRAF and Unconference are for current library staff who perform HR and/or Admin work at their library in any capacity whether full-time or part-time, it's in your job title or not, and whether you're new to HR and/or Admin or a seasoned pro! Please complete this form by September 19, 2024. 


We'd love to hear from our fellow HR and Administrators in the library world to help guide us as we develop the forum. We can't promise we'll be able to do everything everyone wants, but we want to see where interest lies. What kinds of events are people interested in? What are some of the big topics people want to learn more about? How can we support, collaborate, and connect with each other across Illinois? Share your thoughts by filling out this form.
