Why does ALA need an allied professional association?
A2 ALA members — and all librarians and library workers — have critical interests in certification, pay equity, status and salaries. In accordance with current IRS regulations, those interests are appropriately addressed by an organization with a tax-exempt status of 501(c)6 – a professional or trade organization. ALA is tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue code – the section applicable to educational and charitable organizations.
