Representatives of basic-unit libraries (one per state) with full voting rights were included on the Executive Committee of the Kentucky-Ohio-Michigan Regional Medical Library (RML) Network in 1978, after a three-year effort initiated by hospital librarians in Franklin County, Ohio. This article describes the process that resulted in hospital library participation at all levels of Region V governance, focusing on stages of development, action between the advocate and the administrative structure, and outcome.
