    Posted Jun 18, 2014 03:55 PM

    This Friday, June 20th, we will be submitting all documents for discussion and record at ALA Annual Conference to the AASL Board of Directors. If your state association has not yet re-affiliated for the 2014-2016 cycle there is still time to make it into the Annual Conference board report. If you submit your application to me tonight, or any time tomorrow, I will be able to list your organization as an affiliate.


    Please note, this is not an “affiliate deadline” --we will happily take reaffiliation applications anytime, and will be reporting on the status of re-affiliations again at Midwinter 2015. However, I would love to report to the AASL Board of Directors that the majority of state associations are re-affiliated!


    The link to application is: http://www.ala.org/aasl/application-affiliation


    If you have any questions on the status of your state association’s affiliation, or need anything from me, please let me know!


    Thank you,
    Jonna

    Hi, Jonna,

    This was just brought to my attention yesterday without knowing who was responsible for submitting the form. As you can see, I am again only receiving the information that NJASL has not re-affiliated fairly late and I do not have access to all the information at this time. I will fill out the form as soon as I can gather all the required material but the timing is very poor given the increased responsibilities school librarians have at this time of year. On top of the usual, I have been working until 8pm most nights trying to weed and pack up my collection so my floors can be redone this summer. If you can include NJASL with our intent, I will get the form to you this weekend.

    Pam, I'm happy to add NJ on the list of affiliated organizations as an addendum to the board documents if I get the application this weekend. In fact, that goes for everyone- if you can get the applications submitted  to me before I leave for Annual Meeting on Thursday morning next week, I’ll add make sure the board knows!

    Hi, Jonna: I am new in this position. Does Iowa need to reaffiliate?

    Thank you so much! I have put the word out for the information I need. You will have the application as soon as I complete it.

    You are the best!

    Jonna,


    Have Arkansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico re-affiliated?  Texas completed forms and submitted them on Thursday, June 19th.  Did you receive them?  I have sent email to the other three.  I don't have personal phone numbers, or I would call them.  They are all off for the summer at this time.  Hope they are checking their school emails.

    Jonna,


    My apologies.  I just read the last page of your AASL Board Documents for 2014 ALA Annual Conference info that lists the states who have re-affiliated as of 06-19-2014.


    Thank you for all this information.

    Hi Jonna,

    I've tried repeatedly to get you the information, but the link provided:

    http://www.ala.org/aasl/about/affils/affiliation-app

    does not work. It comes back with: 

    Page Not Found (404)

     

    Whoops! We can't find your page.

     This has been one of the most frustrating things I've ever done, as you know the system timed out twice previously when I tried to submit.

    I will do it this weekend if provided a link that works.

    Thanks,

    Janice

    President, California School Library Association

    I'm wondering if New York State has completed the re-affiliation form. I've looked for the list of states that re-affiliated, but can't find it. Sorry.

    Hi, Jonna,

    I submitted NJASL's Re-affiliation form this evening. Just wanted to let you know and thank you again for the extension.

    See you on Friday.
