    Dear ACRL Board,

     

    The ACRL Budget & Finance Committee met for a Special Meeting on July 29, 2026 to discuss and approve the recommendation to the ACRL Board of Directors the integration of ACRL and Choice into a single unit. The next step is for the Board to hold an asynchronous discussion during the period of 8/4/2026–8/10/2026. Please see the attached packet (each document is bookmarked within the PDF) and use this discussion post to share any questions or comments.

     

    Following the discussion period, the Board will vote asynchronously on the action request during the period of 8/11/2026–8/17/2026 and confirm votes at the ACRL Fall Board Virtual Meeting.

     

    Best,

    Allison
