This Manual supplements the PAM Division Governing Document, in order to record and disseminate the detailed policies and procedures followed by the PAM division and to provide guidance and reminders to PAM officers and committee members. In all cases of conflict, SLA directives and by-laws and the PAM Division Governing Document override these guidelines.See also SLA Bylaws, SLA Policies and Practices and SLA’s Chapter/Division Resources
