ALPSP monitors issues and identifies priorities for activity through the work of our Committees. Anyone working at a member organization is eligible to serve as a volunteer, subject to vacancies. Interested in getting involved? Please use our volunteers form to outline your preferences. We have early careers publishers on all committees now. Any questions? Contact Amanda Whiting.
Policy Committee
The Policy Committee is made up of individuals from a variety of different societies and publishers, whose day to day work involves policy, rights and copyright related issues around the globe. We have meetings approximately every 3 months and keep in regular contact in between those meetings, as and when new areas of interest arise. We work collaboratively together on responses to consultations, have set up and attended meetings with organisations such as cOAlition S and write regularly for the ALPSP Policy Bulletin.

Membership and Marketing Committee
ALPSP Membership and Marketing Committee brings together industry professionals to develop and progress the membership and marketing strategy for ALPSP. Interactive and fun sessions provoke shared discussion and learning towards the common goal of defining ALPSP's value proposition and strategy to implement. The committee meets every six weeks and has several working groups running at one time to address specific objectives. These working groups are both short and long term so dependent on the level of time available, each committee member can make a valuable contribution.
