The ARLIS/NA International Relations Committee (IRC) will implement the ARLIS/NA vision to pursue partnerships with librarians and institutions outside of North America in a collaborative effort to support the Society as the leading organization in the arts information field. The IRC will also work to establish greater collaboration within North America, including membership in Canada and Mexico, to support the Society's charge to represent art librarians in North America. The IRC will actively encourage inclusiveness, collaboration, diversity, and a multiplicity of viewpoints and perspectives for the Society.
