  • 1.  call for presenter at January ACRL Chapters Council meeting

    Posted Dec 14, 2022 02:55 PM

    All:

    The Chapters Council leadership is in the process of scheduling the January meeting. Please watch this space for an invitation next week. In the meantime, we are seeking a Chapters Council member to speak at the meeting.  In the past, we have had presenters from outside organizations, but due to the time crunch with the holidays approaching, we would like to try recruiting a Chapters Council member to speak, instead. The talk would not need to last more than a half-hour, including time for questions, and it could cover any topic of interest to Chapters Council, such as an interesting project or initiative your own chapter has undertaken. 
    The meeting will take place from either 9:00 to 10:30 AM or 3:00 to 4:30 PM. Please note that these time blocs are Central Time. The presentation normally takes up the first half-hour of the meeting, but we can move it to the end, if that would work better.
    If you would be interested in presenting, please let me know as soon as possible, at eedwards@ilsos.gov. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you very much.

    Eric Edwards
    2022-23 ACRL Chapters Council Interim Chair

    Hi, Eric. I would be happy to present on our current strategic planning process, which began in December of last year. We are about 3/4 of the way through the process, and have begun implementing some pilot initiatives. We have operated as a highly collaborative "Committee for a new Vision."

    Please let me know if you think there would be interest.

    2022 ACRL/NY President

    Dear Ms. Miles:

    Thank you very much for your interest in presenting. Yes, I think strategic planning would be a topic relevant to many statewide and regional chapters. I will send you the link to the meeting poll, so that we can find a date and time as convenient as possible for you.
    Thank you, again.

    Eric Edwards
