    Dear ACRL Leaders,

    Thank you and your committees for the hard work this year progressing the goals outlined in your 2017–18 annual work plans. Annual work plans align division-level committee work with the ACRL Plan for Excellence and the committee's charge. If your committee is meeting at Annual Conference or virtually, please include discussion of the report and work plan on your agenda.

    I'm including instructions below, but please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions about this schedule or process.

    Report & Work Plan Template
    The template for both the 2017–18 committee year-end report and 2018–19 annual work are included in the combined template. Please coordinate with incoming/outgoing leadership to complete this template.

    2017–18 Reports
    Current chairs are responsible for completing the year-end report. Please work with your committee members and Board and staff liaisons to complete this report. Draft reports are due July 13 and final reports should be posted to ALA Connect and sent to apayne@ala.org by July 20.

    2018–19 Work Plans
    Incoming chairs should work with their committees and Board and staff liaisons to complete work plans for the upcoming cycle. Component Committees should further coordinate work plans with Coordinating Committees.

    As a reminder, your Board liaison is the one who has the final sign-off on your work plan. Board liaisons will consider the annual work plan review criteria when reviewing draft work plans for approval. Draft work plans are due July 27 and final work plans should be posted to ALA Connect and sent to apayne@ala.org by August 10.

    2017–18 Work Plans
    When working on your 2017–18 report and 2018–19 work plan, it may be helpful to reference your committee's 2017–18 work plan. This document should be easily accessible in your committee's ALA Connect committee library. In case it is not, I'm sharing the PDF compilation. Note that your committee work plan may have been updated mid-year, so use the latest version from your Connect space, if you have it, to be sure your year-end report highlights all your committee's accomplishments.

    Best,
    Allison
