Committees
Committees are made up of dedicated booksellers and sales reps who are vital in creating the programs, initiatives and education for the Discovery Show, Spring Workshops, and children's programming, to name just a few.
The committees are not set in stone, but are continued, decommissioned or created based on the ideas and input from the board and our membership.
Much of our committee work is done by email, with an occasional conference call. We encourage interested booksellers to get involved. You'll be contributing your valuable experience and creativity, and you'll be meeting booksellers from across our California region and beyond.
If you'd like to serve on a committee, contact the committee chairs. Have an idea for a new topic? - email calvin@caliballiance.org.
