    Dear ACRL Board of Directors,

     

    Earlier this month, the ACRL Budget & Finance Committee had an asynchronous pre-vote discussion and virtual vote. The ACRL Budget and Finance Committee approved to recommend to the ACRL Board of Directors the FY25 budget with:

    ·       ACRL Revenues $4,366,745

    ·       ACRL Expenses $4,411,489

    ·       ACRL Net -$44,744

    • Choice Revenues $2,291,366
    • Choice Expenses $2,210,679
    • Choice Net $80,687

    The Board is invited to review the attached packet regarding ACRL's and Choice's FY25 budgets and have discussion during the period of 9/24/2024–9/30/2024. The Board should post comments and questions regarding this request using threaded discussion in ALA Connect.

    Following the discussion period, the ACRL Board will vote on the action request, through a virtual vote held 10/1/2024 – 10/7/2024, and confirm its virtual vote at the next synchronous meeting.

     
    Thank you for your cooperation in this time sensitive matter.

    Sincerely,
    Elois

    Hello,

     

    Is the Board Action text accurate? Should it be that the Board approve the B&F Committee recommendation?

     

    Thanks,

     

    Yasmeen

    Hi Yasmeen,

     

    Thanks for catching that typo. You are correct; the action should be the Board approving the B&F's recommendation. Staff will make that correction for the virtual vote.

     

    Best,

    Allison
