[James,Kate]

I am sending this on behalf of my colleague, Cynthia Whitacre.
Fast Policy and Outreach Committee
The FAST Policy and Outreach Committee (FPOC) is seeking new members for positions that will become available in January 2024.

Established in September 2018, the joint committee of OCLC and FAST implementers acts as an advisory and outreach body. Their priority is to ensure FAST will be a fully supported, widely adopted and community developed general subject vocabulary derived from LCSH with tools and services that serve the needs of diverse communities and contexts.

One vacancy is for a liaison to the ALA Core Subject Analysis Committee (SAC)<https://www.ala.org/core/member-center/sections/metadata-and-collections/subject-analysis-committee>. Membership in ALA is required. If you are interested in this role please indicate that in the nomination form.

Members serve for a maximum of two terms, each of two years, and are eligible to serve as co-chair.  The committee meets online bi-monthly, with meetings usually lasting one hour. Members are also expected to contribute to the advisory work of the committee and the promotion of FAST.

Membership guidelines can be found here<https://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/fast/fast-policy-and-outreach-committee-regulations.pdf>. Interested candidates can self-nominate using this form<https://www.oclc.org/content/oclc-forms/en_us/fast-committee-interest.html> and return it no later than November 20, 2023.
FPOC is focused on promoting the use and implementation of OCLC's faceted vocabulary and encourages candidates working in diverse subject areas to apply.

Thank you for your consideration,
